A rebellious teenager runs away from home and joins the SoHo beatniks when her widowed father remarries a much younger woman.

There the creepy club owner attempts to seduce her, and his lover gets jealous and stabs him. Now the two must do something fast. The film is also known as Wild for Kicks, and features music from rocker Adam Faith, the John Barry Seven, and other beatnik acts.
