There is a new English friend, Pia Pocket, an identical cousin of Polly, who dreams of being a great rock star.

Plot
Mr. Pocket opens a new six-star hotel, the Pocket Plaza, and Polly and her friends are set to perform at the grand opening. Since it's gonna happened on the weekend, Polly has invited a new friend from England, her identical cousin Pia Pocket, who has dreams of being a rock star.
As the girls enjoy the hotel, Pia is told by her chaperone Miss Throckmorton she is not allowed to be in the rock band because anything American is not proper and ladylike, and she should stick to her British heritage. At the same time, Polly's father is held up at an airport in Iceland and Polly now has to present the dedication speech at the hotel opening in his place. Wanting to prove Miss Throckmorton wrong, the girls disguise Pia to look like Polly and teach her about all things American. The girls' plan goes into action with the cousins assuming the opposite's identity, which fools Miss Throckmorton completely. Meanwhile, Polly's jealous rival Beth is suspicious of Polly's sudden change in behavior, eventually meeting the cousins and seeing how identical they are, and plots to use their switch to ruin the ceremony which will be broadcast live.
Miss Throckmorton overheard Beth talking about Pia and Polly's plan and thought Pia disobeyed her, and she runs into Polly, mistaking her for Pia, and grounds her to her hotel room. Pia is forced to take Polly's place at the ceremony with Polly reading her speech over the phone, but Miss Throckmorton catches her and hangs up. However, Pia manages to save the day by improvising with a speech of her own, causing Miss Throckmorton to realize the error of her ways; she apologizes to Polly for kidnapping her, makes amends with Pia, and allows her to pursue her dream of performing with the band. That evening, Polly and the Pockets performance goes off without a hitch, and Pia joins in and thanks Polly for the best weekend ever.
