Synopsis

After graduating from high school, Judy Collins decides to run away from her smalltown home and the strict discipline of her widowed father in order to experience "life" before settling down to marry her longtime boyfriend, John Watson. Judy accepts a ride to New Orleans with a stranger who attacks her along the way. They struggle, and the stranger knocks his head against a rock. Convinced that she has killed him, Judy takes his car and flees. She checks into a sleazy hotel in New Orleans but leaves when she discovers the room clerk watching her from an adjoining room. She moves into a boardinghouse and meets Mona Duvick, a good-hearted woman of dubious occupation. Judy becomes a waitress, but she quickly loses her job when she rejects the advances of the manager. With Mona's help, Judy finds work as a model in a lingerie shop run by Loni. At first Judy is embarrassed to model the scanty costumes, but she grows to enjoy the plush surroundings. She discovers too late, however, that Loni is actually a procuress. Sent to model for a client in an expensive hotel suite, Judy is raped. Mona encourages her friend to make the best of life in spite of the terrifying experience, and Judy takes a job as a dancer on Bourbon Street. John, who has never stopped searching for Judy finds her at last, and for the first time she realizes what she has become. Following an unsuccessful suicide attempt, she decides to turn herself over to the police for the murder of the motorist. John greets her at the hospital with the news that the highway attacker was only stunned, and the couple drive away to begin life together.
