Summary
A whirlwind of journalistic chicanery and sartorial metamorphosis unfolds as a publicity agent, obsessed with capturing the titular 'knees' of a celebrated starlet, finds his ambitions deliciously subverted. The object of his fixation, adept at navigating the choppy waters of public image, cleverly foists upon him a photographic stand-in: a woman utterly devoid of glamour, a veritable cipher of conventional attractiveness. Believing he has secured his coveted scoop and, more absurdly, the affections of the star herself, the agent proposes marriage. His subsequent disillusionment upon encountering the true, unvarnished visage of his photographic 'fiancée' is palpable. Yet, the narrative takes an unexpected turn, as the actual heroine orchestrates a stunning transformation, elevating the initially unappealing woman to an apotheosis of allure, so captivating that she becomes the magnetic center of a throng of eager suitors.
