Judy returns to the disapproval of mother Lottie and stepfather Harvey, as well as disbelief from Jack's parents, the Baynes, who doubt the girl's story and accuse her of loose morals.
Her older friend Ava and she go to Tijuana to find the marriage license, but no paperwork for a "Bayne" is found.
Jack's parents discover the wedding license in their son's belongings, mistakenly listed as "Payne", and forgive Judy, but she is appalled by their hypocrisy.
After finding a job and beginning a relationship with a boy, Danny Fuller, a smooth talker named Pete Bailey seduces her, only to jilt Judy on what she believes is her wedding day.
Danny rescues her from the wreck, expressing his hope that everyone will make up to Judy for their previous behavior toward her.
