Kathy Allen (Arlene Dahl) is a slum-dwelling poor working-class gal raised by an abusive stepfather (Sid James) she hates. That's given as the reason she hates all men and only desires to use them to climb the social ladder. She's a gold digger who sets her sights on getting a better life no matter how. She deems the Stylewear Beauty Contest as her ticket out of the slums and uses her feminine charms on Sam Lewis (David Kossoff), the elderly head of Stylewear magazine, to get him to rig the contest and choose her as the pageant winner. Kathy then reneges on her promises of sexual favors, and rushes off to jump start her career. She meets Tim O'Bannion (Philip Carey), a struggling television producer employed by the European-based Dowling's advertising firm, but turns down his advances because he's not rich.

Redheaded leading lady Arlene Dahl was born, raised and educated in Minnesota. Supporting herself with innumerable day jobs, Dahl finally reached Broadway in 1945, the year before she was chosen New York's "Miss Rheingold." Her first film appearance in MGM's Life With Father (1947) was so fleeting as to be missable, but by 1948 Dahl was playing leads at MGM. In the tradition of such drop-dead-gorgeous redheads as Maureen O'Hara and Rhonda Fleming, Dahl often as not found herself cast in Technicolor swashbucklers, notably Caribbean (1952), Sangaree (1952) and Bengal Brigade (1953). In 1956 Dahl delivered an intimidatingly superb performance as a beautiful psycho in Allan Dwan's Slightly Scarlet. By the 1960s, Dahl was better known as a beauty-product promoter and glamour-advice columnist; her five marriages to such high-profile personalities as Fernando Lamas and Lex Barker ... kept her in the public eye.
