Pat; Curtis Fowler; Laura Page; Jensen; Alan Kent
Pat goes to work for realtor Curtis and falls in love with him, despite his sometimes ruthless and shady business tactics. Pat shows client Alan a house that she knows is sub-standard and conceals its flaws. However, she repents before he signs the contract and confesses everything, telling Curtis “you’re just like the houses you sell—-attractive outside—-and (sob) rotten inside!” She helps Alan find a better house and perhaps someday will move in there herself, as his wife.
