Gidget decides that "Ask Helpful Hannah," the advice column in the school paper isn't the least bit helpful. She finds that Norman Crowley, an engineering student, has unwillingly been running the column. When Norman quits, Peggy Bell, the editor, and Miss Beckley, the faculty advisor, persuade Gidget to take over the assignment. Then "Helpful Hannah" begins getting letters signed "Wretched." Gidget feels that the unfortunate writing the letters is in such a sad state that she must take a personal hand in his problem, but her attempts to discover his identity only result in several unfortunate mix-ups. Gidget concludes that her attempts to be helpful have failed when she discovers that "Wretched" is actually Norman. Then Peggy tells her she feels she could make some progress with him if her were not so occupied with model rockets. Gidget writes a feature story hailing Norman's achievements in rocketry. Norman is sure Peggy wrote the story. Although he learns he was mistaken, the story brings him and Peggy together. Happily, Gidget concludes it was all worthwhile.
