Original Air Date: September 29, 1972
Keith is having a hard time getting a date for the weekend until Reuben
announces that a princess who is visiting the United States wants to spend a
few days with him. After a diplomat warns Keith to take good care of the girl
since he is acting as a representative of the United States, Keith meets
Princess Genevieve, commonly known as Genny. She is beautiful and unaffected
by her royalty, but unfortunately the two young people are allowed very little
time together because they are constantly surrounded by security guards. The
solution which Genny proposes is for Keith to kidnap her.
This is achieved with relative ease, and afterwards, they go to a drive-in
movie. But Keith is so hung up on Genny's being "royalty" that he
can't even put his arm around her. Finally, she advises him to pretend that
she's just an ordinary girl. They kiss warmly until a white flash exploded in
their faces. It is a photographer -- and the next day, the picture of Genny in
Keith's arms makes the front page of every newspaper. The diplomats are afraid
that Keith may have caused an international incident. But Shirley admonishes
them for not understanding that kids want to enjoy themselves like all normal
people, so they all calm down. Unfortunately, the next day Genny must leave,
and all are sad to see her go.
