Three jealous men in a small town become hostile at each other when they both are insensibly allured to the same, promiscuous young woman.
Wayne, is a twenty-five year old, destitute auto mechanic with a wife and two children, and is highly frustrated by criticism that he neglects his family's welfare.
Mc Gammon is a forty-four year old wealthy and successful businessman, with a wife and one child, and is determined to dominate his surroundings by influencing most of the people who he comes in contact with. His philosophy is to control.
Gatlin is a thirty-two year old co-owner of a plumber business who is not married and merely wants a wife.
Holli is a twenty-three year old college drop-out, with an infamous reputation for defying sexual mores. After embarking on a two-year, sordid relationship of alternating emotions with Wayne, she wants to sever their affair to embrace Mc Gammon for his financial status. Simultaneously, she is having intimate encounters with Gatlin, who wants to marry her out of sincerity without understanding she bears no definite feelings for him.
In the midst of her involvement with the wealthy McGammon, she finds him overbearing, self-conceited, violent, and apt to be abusive of women. Unlike Wayne, Mc Gammon fails her test of intimacy.And while Wayne knows of her dealings with the rich manalso, he refuses to concede his desire for her.But when Mc Gammon becomes aware of Wayne's undying interest in Holli, he gets very jealous and demands that she ends all contact with her penniless lover.
Gatlin is merely someone whom she chooses to spend time with because he is kind to her. Yet, Wayne is jealous of her involvement with the plumber, and Gatlin is bitter towards Wayne.
Using his financial potency, Mc Gammon tries to isolate her from Wayne without understanding that she's emotionally split between his assets and Wayne's lustful capabilities. As her involvement with the two of the men progresses, their anomosity towards each other escalates into displays of contempt.
Both men refuse to yield to one another. Holli realizes there is no future for her in either. She then wants to relinquish her dealings with Mc Gammon, so she devises a plan to steal a house sum of money from him before she does. In order for her plan to work, she reveals some information to both men which ignites an explosives fuse between them.
Her triangle of lust and deception looks like a circus act in which she is the ringmistress for two lions jumping through a burning hoop of malice.
