Reuben has discovered an new singing act, 14-year-old twin brothers Andy and
David, and he brings them to live with the Partridges until they cut their
first record.
The boys have a crush on Laurie and she doesn't want to hurt their feelings
and agrees to go out with them. The family thinks Laurie's double-crush is
cute and kids her about it.
Andy and David become serious and tell Laurie she has to choose which one of
them she wants to date. They decide to help her in the decision by not
dressing alike anymore and breaking up their singing act to become more
individual. Now everyone realizes hoe serious this has become and Keith and
Danny try to help Laurie but the plans backfire. The twins are more in love
than ever. Finally Shirley enters the picture and explains to the boys that
they will get over their crush but they shouldn't sacrifice their friendship
over this. But this time even Shirley seems to fail.
Laurie gets up enough courage to confront the boys but they have changed their
minds. The crush is off and they've decided not to let a girl come between
them. Shirley's little talk worked after all. The boys make the recording for
Reuben and it looks like they have a hit on their hands.
