While waiting in vain for her married lover to get a divorce, Fran Walker (Dame Elizabeth Taylor), a lonely chorus girl approaching middle age, falls for Joe Grady (Warren Beatty), a frustrated musician and compulsive gambler who dreams of escaping Las Vegas for fame and fortune in New York City.
Fran Walker (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) is an aging Las Vegas, Nevada chorus girl. She has given her wealthy San Francisco, California-based married lover Tom Lockwood (Charles Braswell), who she has not seen in six months, ultimatum after ultimatum in leaving his wife, Fran always ending back in his arms, despite him not having succumbed to her ultimatum. Fran continually tells herself that Tom will one day come through, regardless of if she truly believes it. She, who wants to remain financially independent in asking and taking nothing from Tom in terms of financial support or lavish material gifts, only stays in Las Vegas out of inertia. Joe Grady (Warren Beatty) is a Las Vegas lounge pianist. Unlike Fran, Joe hates Las Vegas, and is trying to amass five thousand dollars, which he requires to set up a professional life as a pianist in New York City, New York. While he outwardly states that he dabbles in gambling, he truly is an addict, he going on the occasional gambling binge which has led to him not being able to save the money he needs to leave Las Vegas. Fran and Joe meet when she walks into Tonys, the bar where he works, for a late night dinner. The two end up going home together that evening in their mutual attraction and in Frans loneliness, and, able to get over their inherent differences in temperament, have what each believes will be a one-night stand. However, they end up having a no-strings relationship in each helping the other achieve his or her current life goals. This situation has the potential to fall apart either if one or the other is unable to fulfill the others needs - Joe, who is supposed to stop Fran from falling back into Toms arms if he doesnt come through, and Fran, who will keep and hide Joes money so that he doesnt gamble it away until he reaches the five thousand dollar mark - or if one or the other ends up falling in love with the other.
