Ellie was a frustrated young heiress, eager to get out and to do some harmless partying every once in a while.
Her stuffy father, however, demanded that she stay at the local convent boarding school, without leaving, throughout the entire semester.
One day, she sneaked out and boarded a local bus.
It was quite a nerve wracking ride.
Seated right next to her was a dashing young journalist named Peter.
He never stopped trying to win her over.
Peter wasn’t her style though.
When she got home she watched a DVD. She cringed all throughout “It Happened One Night”.

The names I used were the names used in the movie but with a bit of a twist. It’s always struck me as such a nice screwball comedy.
