South and she sees vividly what the white man is like as far as she is concerned. The 'memory' is of two white boys who caught her in a corn field, tormented her, forced her to strip for them, dance for them, and then raped her. She hates. And her hate drives her to taunt and tease her office 'friend' and finally to demand money from him for the offer of her body. He pays and Collie Sue has learned how to make him pay. . . how to make them all keep on paying. Julie dances in a discotheque. She is crazy about a punk named Mike, a big deal of some sort in the club. He promises her a show business career but he has other things in mind. In the club, wildly torrid dancing is the entertainment, including a striptease fire dance to really warm up the gentlemen clientele. Mike brutally beats the fire dancer for not coming through for one of his 'Johns'. Then, he takes her himself as she coweringly promises to do his bidding in the future. He sends Julie to meet one of his friends, a big-time producer. But Julie doesn't get the pitch. She runs from the producer and finds Mike furious with her. Because of her naivete and her love for him, he cons her into the game of the prostitute. The third story belongs to Barbara Harrison, housewife, chic young modern, and at heart a lazy slut, bored with Mr. Harrison, bored with his junior executive income, and bored with life. Her remedy is to play the horses and when she loses too much and can't cajole her husband into giving her enough cash to cover herself, she finds herself in trouble with the bookie syndicate. She is threatened and slapped around a bit as a warning. She decides to offer herself to the enforcer as a way out. But he has even bigger plans. . . She likes the idea. She likes the money... and she digs the sex, no matter how freaky it may get. Like the rest, she's hooked. She's one of "THE HOOKERS."
