The problems encountered by the sixteen-year-old beauty in this comedy might not strike north-of-the-border feminists as particularly amusing. One of six children, Eulalia leaves her country home to work as a maid in a rich person's house in the city. She lives with her young male cousin, who has the hots for her, and at work she must fight off both the father of the household and his son. Finally, her fortunes change when the woman of the house she is working in discovers these two wolves making fools of themselves over her. She gets work at a Pizza Hut, then gets pregnant, marries an old man for convenience, and so on. Her difficulties are compounded by the fact that the over-the-hill old gent she hoped to have a "safe" marriage with is so turned on by her youth and beauty that he is potent once more.
