Quick Answer

What is Teenage Tramp about?

Teenage Tramp is a 1973 American crime drama directed by Anton Holden about a runaway named Kim who returns home seeking her inheritance, only to become entangled in her sister's troubled world and pursued by dangerous figures from her past.

Programmer's Pick

This is exploitation cinema with a taste for family dysfunction and the open road—think inheritance squabbles, hippie hangers-on, and a protagonist who is as much a catalyst as a casualty. Teenage Tramp doesn’t just flirt with trouble; it invites it home for dinner.

Overview

Teenage Tramp dives into the tumultuous journey of Kim, a young runaway who escapes a bad crowd on the East Coast and heads west in search of family and fortune. Linking up with draft dodger Skip, Kim endures a fraught trip back home, only to find her older sister Hilary has commandeered their inheritance to prop up her own world—namely, an art gallery and a younger lover, Adam. Tensions flare as Kim’s return and her provocative presence upend Hilary’s fragile balance. With family money tangled in personal ambitions and a fugitive in tow, the sisters’ uneasy reunion is set against a backdrop of exploitation, independence, and the looming threat of Kim’s troubled past catching up with her.
