Synopsis
Larry and Millie are invited to a posh party at his employers home, but Millie is upset because the couple can't dress than fancy for it. Finally agreeing, she insists on wearing her friend's diamond pendant to the affair and Larry's boss, Mr. Allerton, is very impressed. However, somehow Millie loses the pendant and when the couple go to the jewelers to get a copy made, they discover the copy will cost $17,000. Larry's uncle agrees to loan them the money and they work hard to pay it, only to find out years later that Millie had borrowed a paste imitation!
Notes
The white-title variant was printed by Charlton for EC; the quality was very poor and Bill Gaines had the issue reprinted (the yellow-title variant).
