Plot

Fran Walker is an aging Las Vegas chorus girl. She has given her wealthy San Francisco, California-based married lover Tom Lockwood, whom she has not seen in six months, ultimatum after ultimatum about leaving his wife, but always ends up back in his arms, despite him not having submitted to her ultimatum. Fran continually tells herself that Tom will one day come through, regardless of whether she truly believes it. She wants to remain financially independent, asking and taking nothing from Tom in terms of financial support or lavish material gifts. She only stays in Las Vegas out of inertia.
