The Partridge Papers

S2 E22: Laurie is humiliated since she has just been elected Miss Dill Pickle. As she is leaving for the ceremony, Marvin - the high school editor who has always been very hostile to Laurie - comes by to pick up the Partridges' gifts for the celebrity auction at school. Marvin teases Laurie about being a pickle and Laurie leaves in anger...telling Danny to give Marvin her brown shoebox with her ballet slippers for the auction. By mistake, Danny gives Marvin her tan shoebox - which just happens to contain her diary. When Laurie finds out she is mortified...and she is convinced Marvin will publish the diary in the school paper. Laurie asks Danny and Keith to get her diary back before Marvin discovers what he has. They arrive too late - Marvin knows what's in the shoebox. Laurie decides she must get it back herself. Recruiting Keith and Danny's aid again, Laurie decides she will break into the building and steal the diary. She has a series of mishaps where she is almost caught by a policeman, where she struggles and climbs through a window only to find the front door open, and where she climbs through an air vent only to come back into the same room...and Keith and Danny look on and laugh. Meanwhile, Marvin drops by the Partridges and Shirley has a talk with him. She learns that Marvin really likes Laurie but doesn't think she could ever like him. He admits that he would never have published her diary - he couldn't even bring himself to read it. He and Shirley go to the school to get it back and there they find the three Partridges hiding under a table. The day is saved and Laurie gets her diary back.
