Distressed by Meredith's deviousness, Annie telephones Hallie and persuades her to bring Elizabeth to California to break up the engagement. Annie goes to California, where she meets Nick, the Parker family's maid, Chessy (Walter), their dog, Sammy, and Nick's fiancée, a young gold digger named Meredith Blake (Hendrix). When camp is over, the plan succeeds: Hallie goes to London, where she meets Elizabeth, Charles, and the James family's butler, Martin (Kunz). Realizing with delight that they are twins, they hatch a plan to meet their previously unknown parents: each girl will train her twin to impersonate her, and they will switch places at the end of the summer. Living together, Hallie and Annie discover that they were born on the same day and they each have half of a torn wedding photo of their parents. However, the pranks end when the camp counselors (named Marva Kulp Sr and Marva Kulp Jr, and nicknamed “Marvas”) fall into one of Hallie’s traps, so they send the twins to the Isolation Cabin, thus separating them from the other girls. A comical hostility between them leads to a prank war between them. Annie and Hallie, who are now eleven years old, first meet at the end of a fencing match, when they remove their masks and see that they look alike. Nick raised Hallie in the Napa Valley and became a wealthy wine grower, while Elizabeth raised Annie in London and became a famous wedding gown designer.Īfter the cruise and onboard wedding ceremony, the story jumps ahead to a summer in which Nick and Elizabeth coincidentally enroll the twins in the same summer camp. Elizabeth gave birth to twin daughters: Annie and Hallie (both played by Lindsay Lohan), but they divorced and lost contact with each other, each raising one of the twins without telling her about her sister. Nick Parker (Quaid) and Elizabeth James (Richardson) met and married each other during a cruise on the QE2.
