Rocky Papasano ([=McQueen=]) is a musician eking out an uncertain existence in New York. One day when he's at the musician's union hall looking for work, he is met by one Angie Rossini (Wood), a Macy's shop clerk. Rocky fails to recognize her, but Angie assures him that they did meet at a hotel where Rocky had a gig a few weeks ago. Also, as a result of that meeting, Angie is pregnant.
Angie wants nothing more from Rocky than help finding a doctor. Since this is 1963, finding an abortion doctor willing to do an illegal procedure in secret is a challenge. Rocky and Angie's trip to a dirty vacant apartment, where they are met by a distinctly shifty-looking midwife, leads to Rocky pulling Angie out of there and offering to marry her. Angie doesn't want a ShotgunWedding, though, and romantic complications ensue.
Mulligan would direct Wood again in ''Film/InsideDaisyClover''.

Rocky and Angie meet a scary man who's pretending to fix a car before he tells them where to go, but only if they give him an extra $50 up front. They finally gather up the extra $50, and meet the man in a filthy abandoned apartment. The arrival of the abortionist, a hard-faced midwife, causes Rocky to protest that they were supposed to get a doctor for their $400. The midwife shoots back with "Take it or leave it." Soon after Rocky decides to leave it, dragging Angie from the filthy apartment as the midwife and her partner make a hurried exit.
