NOOOO!!
The second roll of Plus-X is unexposed. I'm a fool, I couldn't
load a film into a camera. I think that film would have yeilded some
good shots too. What am I going to say?

Josh,
We have all done it and felt just as stupid. You only do it once in
your life though.
This is the procedure I use. Put the canister in the back, push down
the rewind crank, pull the film across the film plane and thread it
into the take up spool, wind film, to make sure it is caught, until
both sides of the film are engaged by the film sprockets. Now make
sure the lip of the cassette is flat(not sticking up) and turn the
rewind knob until the film is snug in the canister and the film
across the back has some tension on it. Not too tight. You do not
want to break the film sprocket holes. Close the back of the camera.
Wind the film and click the shutter to the first frame WHILE watching
the rewind knob to see that it is turning as you wind.
I don't think your customers will be put out if you tell them what
happened and ask them to come back. Students get a lot of slack.
They realize you do not have 25 years of experience. You and they may
even some ideas for some new shots. If you print what you have and
show them, they may even want to wear different clothes the second
shoot.
