Mona Lisa is average. Not pretty. Not ugly. She's very
insecure and lacks self confidence. Mona's mom harps on her
to start dating. Then Julio begins to show an interest in
her. He's on the track team and a close friend of Ernesto's.
When Mona returns Julio's interest, though, her mom is upset
because Julio is not from a good family. He's poor. His
father is practically a bum. They live in a mobile home, and
not the plush kind. Not the type of "people" Mrs. Corsella
approves of. And she hatches a plan to get her daughter to
date someone more socially acceptable. Mona becomes defiant,
running away from home. Her mom is convinced she's been
kidnapped by Julio. But Julio turns out to be the hero when
Mona calls him to rescue her in Phoenix after she is
approached by a smarmy guy and loses all of her cash.
