As noted in a January 2007 edit summary the following is lifted word for word from IMDb where it is bylined as by Mark van Dyke (Symian) of RealmBBS.
Clio plays a fun-loving girl who likes men. She leaves her home town and meets up with Wilma, a once-famous singer. After Wilma bombs out at a local joint they hook up together and become prostitutes.
Enter Tony who falls for Wilma and opens a gas/food/lodging establishment after they marry. Tony slowly gets fed up with Wilma, especially after her beautiful daughter arrives. An erotic yet tragic film.
