Girl in Trouble
Wholesome Judy Collins defends her virtue by killing a man, then promptly loses that virtue by hiding out as a lingerie-model-turned-stripper! Wanting to experience "a taste of life" before marrying Johnny, her small-town sweetheart, Judy hitches a ride to New Orleans, kills a man who attacks her, and ends up washing blood off her brassiere in a flea-bag hotel: "Would I ever feel clean again?" On the advice of an old hooker, Judy takes a dubious modeling job only to get attacked again! Thinking things can't get any worse, she struts her stuff on the stage of the Club Flamingo when who should enter but her boyfriend Johnny.
