A parody in the vein of a romance novel: In 1923, a girl leaves a wasting farm in Wyoming and re-encounters a gritty wanderer who (consensually) deflowered her. She takes a job gutting sheep in the slaughterhouses of Chicago. There she is discovered by a Hollywood mogul. She contracts to make six silent movies. All take advantage of her sexual desirability, while gradually growing grander in scale and more subtle in meaning. She becomes a star, and must face conflicts of family and career in the context of the 1920s.
