Une femme revient dans son village natal après être partie dans une grande ville pour gagner sa vie. Elle porte des vêtements modernes et est fière d'elle. Les villageois la regardent avec des sentiments divers. Certains sont admiratifs, d'autres jaloux, d'autres choqués par son éloignement des manières traditionnelles, notamment quand ils apprennent qu'elle est stripteaseuse. Elle s'efforce de garder la tête haute malgré tout, et de rire et de danser, plutôt que de s'attrister du mauvais accueil de certains. C'est une histoire très simple, et il n'y a pas vraiment d'intrigue.

New Orleans, 1937: Catherine Holly (Elizabeth Taylor) is a young woman institutionalized for a severe emotional disturbance that occurred when her cousin, Sebastian Venable, died under questionable circumstances while they were on summer holiday in Europe. The late Sebastian's wealthy mother, Violet Venable (Katharine Hepburn), makes every effort to deny and suppress the potentially sordid truth about her son and his demise. Toward that end, she attempts to bribe the state hospital's administrator, Dr. Lawrence J. Hockstader (Albert Dekker), by offering to finance a new wing for the underfunded facility if he will coerce his brilliant young surgeon, Dr. John Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift), into lobotomizing her niece, thereby removing any chance that the events surrounding her son's death might be revealed by Catherine's "obscene babbling.
