Plots(1)
Nubile Lily Powers can't keep men away, so she decides to go on the offensive and to put her sexual endowments to work for her. She leaves behind her ho-hum steel town environs for the hustle-and-bustle of New York and finds work in a bank. There, she attempts to flirt with, and eventually bed, every executive she meets in her scheme to rise to the top of the financial heap. But she discovers that her sluttish exploits ruin the lives of the men around her. Tragedy follows in her wake, as she uses and disposes of her suitors, one by one. Ultimately, however, Lily realizes she does have a heart. (official distributor synopsis)
