Lindy Cole is on an enforced vacation because her boss, famous lawyer Ben Cross, is afraid she is going to have a stress induced heart attack by the age of thirty! When she stops for lunch in a little town that seems to call to her, the owner of the cafe exclaims that Lindy looks like the woman in the painting in the large parlor of the Dorland Estate. Lindy is amazed, but decides to go and have a look. The next thing she knows, she is thrown back in time, and meets an angry Cole Dorland who doesn't believe her when she insists her name is not Elizabeth, but Lindy Cole. Cole is so frustrated that he turns Lindy over his knee and spanks her so soundly that she is sobbing. It is only after he releases her that he realizes she is not the spoiled Elizabeth!
