Bisset leaves her small Canadian town at the age of 19 to move in with her boyfriend in Los Angeles. Her car breaks down and she hitches a ride with a bad stand-up comic. He convinces her to stay with him in Vegas for a few days, where she schmoozes with his buddies at a party. She eventually makes it to LA but gets bored with "domesticity" and goes back to Vegas. She becomes a showgirl, marries Jim Brown, falls in love with a musician, becomes a hooker and skywrites obscenities while smoking a joint. Interesting but dated story of lost innocence.
