Synopsis: A model named Dinah (Barbara Ferris) longs to escape her fame as the billboard girl for meat and runs off with stuntman Steve (Dave Clark) for a wild weekend.

Kitty Cameo: In one segment of the film Steve and Dinah end up in the home of an older couple, Nan (Yootha Joyce) and Guy (Robin Bailey), in Bath. The couple offers them safety and allows them to clean up and get rested. But in turn the husband and wife seemingly try to seduce them. When Steve sits down on a couch with Nan a gray cat is sitting beside him, preening.
