Summary[]
Paranoid apartment manager Ralph Furley panics when he suspects that his visiting niece Veronica is planning to report his incompetence to his brother Bart, the apartment owner. Furley tells Jack that he believes his only salvation is to find a womanizing young man to distract Veronica's attention, Of course, in Ralph's mind, twinkle toes Tripper couldn't possibly fit that bill. But Jack would like nothing better than to get closer to lovely Veronica, so he comes up with an ingenious suggestion. He'll introduce Veronica to his visiting "twin brother" Austin.
The plan works like a charm. Austin/Jack gets the girl, and Furley gets a great report. But even Jack's fanciest footwork seems darned when Furley insists on showing his gratitude by throwing a party for Jack and his twin.
