Synopsis

Boxing hopeful Johnny Longo spends the night with Rose, a prostitute who has secretly used her racket connections to further his career. Johnny is up for the role of a boxer on a television series co-starring with Rita Roman, a heroin addict who was once a famous actress. Rita and Johnny meet but they quarrel continuously, ruining their rehearsals and upsetting Johnny's training schedule for an upcoming fight. Rose becomes insanely jealous, feeling that she will completely lose Johnny if he is a success on television. When she learns that Rita hates him, they plot to get him off the show. Rita throws a wild party and induces him to take LSD. Under the drug's influence, he injures himself, thereby ending his television and boxing careers and making him forever dependent upon Rose.
