action
Lynn Keefe is a naive 16-year-old small town Lolita from Scranton (Pennsylvania) , who on the one hand has it all behind the ears and knows about its effect on boys, on the other hand dreams of petty bourgeois, great happiness. When she meets the somewhat older Nick, she thinks she has found the man of her dreams in him. During a trip on his motorcycle, the two have sex at full speed. As a result, Lynn is pregnant and now demands from Nick that he marry her. However, he does not even think about it and runs away. Lynn then leaves the musty narrowness of the small-town bourgeoisie and embarks on a long journey through life in the hope of finding a decent man in the world “out there” who wants to marry her.
She first moves through the eastern United States, always looking for a job to survive. Her first job takes her to a tourist hotel in the Catskill Mountains , where she works as a waitress. Already there, Lynne is hit on by lustful guests like the fat Austrian Mr. Baumann, who attacks Lynn in a rowing boat on the mountain lake. Gradually, Lynn begins to understand its effect on the male world. In New York, Lynn collapses on the university campus and a little later loses her child in the clinic. She goes to Philadelphia and tries her hand at being a traveling waitress and donut seller and street vendor. On the way to Boston, she meets an old man who claims to have once been an admiral in the merchant navy. He offers her $ 100 for a quick number. Lynn now realizes how easy it is to make money quickly. It is also the admiral who, on arrival in Boston, asks her bluntly: How did such a lovely girl get into this trade?
In Boston, Lynn keeps her head above water as an elevator operator. Then a music producer offers her a job in his record production and promises Lynn to become a partner. But he too just wants to take advantage of Lynn and demands that she get into bed with one of his music stars. Even in Miami, where Lynn, now 18 years old, is stopping over on her long journey, she is not really happy looking for love. There she is mistaken for a "Miss Luxembourg" and the press pack besieged her. Things take a dramatic turn when Lynn meets a man named Sam. He promises her earnings of $ 3,000 a day if she offers herself as "Miss Luxembourg" to wealthy men for sexual and other favors. The oil magnate BJ Hankins even gives his filius Billy Joe all-round care in the horizontal.
With Lynn in tow, Sam travels to Europe and wants to market her there again as "Miss Hollywood", an emerging film star. Sam lets Lynn stroll up and down the Via Veneto in Rome in the hope that one of the gossip reporters buzzing around there will discover her. In fact, Lynn gets her first film role in Cinecittà and meets the hot-headed but charming young Italian Gino, who is the son of a Milanese multimillionaire. Then Sam tries to blackmail Lynn. If Gino is not to find out about Lynn's past, Lynn will have to pay him $ 50,000. Eventually Gino and Lynn marry. Sam gets nothing, however, because Gino was disinherited from his father because of this marriage, which was not considered appropriate.
Gino and Lynn travel to Monte Carlo with $ 20,000 borrowed from one of his aunts to use everything in the casino. So the two want to get rich in one fell swoop. But Gino gambled everything away. Lynn then returns to old habits, goes to bed with a much older but attractive nobleman, called "Capitano", and tells him the misery story of her and her husband. The Italian writes Lynn a check for 150,000 lire. But then Gino storms through the window into the bedroom and creates a violent theatrical scene for his wife. The Capitano then leaves the room and the young happiness is reconciled in the Lotterbett.
