...dropout (Jean-Pierre Leaud) meets and mates a Coke-stoked rock-'n'-roll belter (Chantal Goya), but not long after dies in an absurd accident, leaving the girl to face an amateur abortion performed with a curtain rod.

Hummingly in tune with the student wave length, he translates the oracle's prediction in Arcadia ("An uncouth love which Nature hateth most") as meaning that, "put bluntly, the king's youngest daughter will become a lesbian."

...eventually beats her and nearly drives her insane--but she can't let The Group know she's made an unsuccessful marriage. Pokey (Mary-Robin Redd) is fat, funny, and fertile (two sets of twins, my dear), and finally, Lakey (Candace Bergen) is the aloof aesthete who is a lesbian...
