millie be a sap . she marry a rich guy name maitland and they have a child . she then catch him cheat on her and divorce him . but let him keep the kid she claim to love . back then in the early 1930s and she would have be entitle to hefty spousal and child support but let the guy off amazingly easy . with no support . what a sap . later and when she have a boyfriend and life seem pretty good and he turn out to also be a cheat . wow and do she have a hard time pick men . a a result of these bad relationship and millie change . now she a wild party girl do everything she can to distract herself from her hard luck . suddenly and many year pass . millie daughter who she leave early on in the film be now 17 and oddly fashion haven not change one bit . an old friend of millie ( yes and it another evil man . ) be now pretend to be the daughter friend and but he have lecherous design on her . millie promise him that if he touch the girl and she will kill him . take a wild guess what happen next . overall and the film be a confusing and often bizarre mess a bit like madam x but much and much less focused . so often millie motivation and action seem to make little sense . and and the film seem to have a little of everything toss into it so long a it substantiate the notion that all men be pig . unusual but not particularly good .
