Synopsis
A tableau vivant in which Harlot, a transvestite suggestive of Jean Harlow, sits on a lounge chair. Surrounding her are a young man who holds a cigarette and stares at her, an adventurer, and a lesbian holding a white cat. Their sole activity is the consumption of bananas. Three off-camera voices recite dialog unrelated to the image on the screen.
