Tired of his secluded lifestyle
in Mantrap, Joe goes to Minneapolis for a visit and meets Alverna,
who is a manicurist in a barbershop. |
 |
Lawyer Ralph Prescott
is tired of divorce cases and aggressive women, so he agrees
to go on a camping trip with his friend, Woodbury. However, the
trip frays the nerves of both men. |
 |
Joe comes upon Prescott
and Woodbury in the woods fighting and invites Prescott to come
to stay with him and Alverna for awhile. Alverna jumps in Joe's
lap and suggests they throw a "nasty" party for Prescott. |
 |
"I'm glad you're here, Ralph. You'll
be good company for Alvy -- better than these trappers." |
 |
When some Indians try
to break into the house one night, Alverna, pretends to be afraid
and seeks comfort from Prescott. |
 |
Alverna convinces Prescott
to take her back to Minneapolis. |
 |
Joe goes looking for
them. |
 |
Joe and Prescott discuss
what to do about Alverna. |
 |
Prescott returns to
his law practice with a new outlook, especially toward the women. |
 |
"Hang on to me,
Joe. I'm slipping just a little." |
