A couple, Dante (Dante Rivero) and Elsa (Liza Lorena), hires a new governess, Carla (Boots Anson-Roa), to care for their four children (Gina Alajar, Ariosto Reyes, Jr., Arnold Gamboa, and 4-year-old Snooky, who was introduced here). The governess quickly establishes rapport with the children and the husband, creating rumors of an affair. Before things can go wrong, Carla decides to leave. Elsa dies in a car accident and Dante decides to remarry and get his children a new mother. Carla is the frontrunner among several choices, but the head servant (Caridad Sanchez) poisons the children's minds against her. Written by BGP See less
