Candice Rialson escapes from her abusive brother only to make friends with a black woman who convinces her to kidnap a rich jogger on the beach. The black girl takes his car to go rob his house, leaving her alone with the tied up jogger. She teases him and then has sex with him. She runs away (again) and this time makes friends with a lesbian artist. She poses as a model, but soon is living with her. She gets bored of their lesbian relationship, so when a man breaks into the house she convinces him to stay the night in her bedroom. The lesbian finds out and Candice has to run away (again). This time she takes up with the owner of an art gallery, and after he buys her clothes she is living in a cage in his basement with a tiger, a squirrel, a wolf and a big bird (all female). Ed Bishop from the UFO TV series babbles on about the life of the modern woman and how his female "pets" actually have better lives. An oddity, even by 70s drive-in standards.
