Rich Girl

Courtney Wells Jill Schoelen is tired of being seen as just a rich man’s daughter, so she breaks up with her fiancé Jeffrey Sean Kanan (her father’s intern), quits college, and tells her father she is going to prove she can be independent. Her job applications meet with rejection, and a secretary at one interview suggests she apply to Rocco’s, a nightclub. The owner of Rocco’s, Ron Karabatsos, discovers that Courtney is the daughter of Marvin Wells, Paul Gleason, and hires her as a management trainee. Rick, Don Michael Paul, a musician playing at Rocco’s, makes advances toward Courtney, and Rocco tells Rick to stay away from her. Courtney is attacked in the parking lot outside the nightclub by two men she had ejected. Rick fights them off. After Rick and Courtney become involved, Rick’s singing partner Michelle, Cherie Currie, quits. Rick convinces Courtney to take Michelle’s place. Rocco warns Courtney against being involved with Rick, implying that her father will ruin Rick’s career if she sings with him. Rick learns about Courtney’s rich father and is upset with her. His own father, a homeless man, dies of a drug overdose. After the funeral, Rick tells Courtney he does not want to see her anymore. Jeffrey discovers where Courtney is working and shows up at Rocco’s to harass her. He tries to force her to leave with him, but she refuses. When Marvin is unable to pressure Rick into staying away from Courtney, Jeffrey plants drugs on Rick’s motorcycle, and Rick is arrested. Courtney pawns her bracelet to bail him out anonymously. Rick’s band performs at a showcase at Rocco’s, and the other band members convince Courtney to perform with them. Marvin and Jeffrey both show up at the showcase. Rick and Courtney fight, and Courtney argues with her father. Rick and Courtney leave together on Rick’s motorcycle.
