Synopsis
Vivian, unable to pin down a modeling job, is hired as an escort girl. When she meets the man of her dreams named Jerry, who wants to marry her, trouble breaks out when her boss, who is also interested in her "charms", breaks up the romance so he can take center stage. Unfortunately for Mike, a jealous woman decides to kill him, but dies in the struggle over a gun, and all is overheard by Jerry and the authorities, who are trying to close down Mike's illicit operation.
