Ed Curwin (STEVE KANALY), owner of a trucking company, has little time for his bookish, 16-year-old son Ron (LANCE KERWIN). Worried about his son's manliness, Ed sets Ron up with Claire Thompson (PHYLLIS DAVIS), a prostitute. Ron rebuffs the hooker, who arranges for him to meet a younger prostitute in the hotel lounge. However, Ron accidentally approaches a vice-squad officer (ANN GILLESPIE), and Ed ends up sharing a jail cell with his very angry son. Peter bails them out and convinces Ron to work things out with his father. Christine discovers that Karen (CARLENE WATKINS) and Sam (TOM SMOTHERS), two bickering hotel boutique employees, are old pen pals and don't know it. Mark inherits an unclaimed diamond bracelet worth $50,000, which he found three months ago and turned in to hotel security. Mark gloats about how he'll spend the money, until a woman arrives at the St. Gregory Hotel and claims the bracelet. Mark reluctantly hands it to her. A short time later, Mark finds an emerald ear
