Ann-Margret escapes from a juvenile prison and takes refuge in the suburban house of John Forsythe, an aspiring political candidate. She takes advantage of his precarious position of having an underage girl in his house while his wife is out of town by inviting a few friends over for laughs. They try to blackmail him, but one of them gets a nasty cut during a scuffle so they head off to Mexico to find a doctor where the situation completely unravels. It's more than just a typical JD flick, with Forsythe's character faced with the dilemma of being an innocent victim but not able to expose his situation for fear of political reprisals. Ann-Margret plays her role with complete abandon and has some priceless lines.
