Lost girl Tuesday Weld allows herself to be picked up by sweet boy Phil Proctor. They wander around NYC, visiting the park and the zoo, and hang out in her apartment with her similarly disaffected friends. She is haunted by memories of her father, Orson Welles, who makes witty remarks and does magic tricks. Eventually, her old lover Jack Nicholson shows up and spoils things. At one point Proctor describes Weld as, "pretty and sad and weird as hell", which more or less sums up my feelings about the film in general. It has no plot to speak of, only a series of impressions and impromptu dialogue that goes nowhere. The vague, downbeat ending doesn't help.
