The story of a "little," well-behaved girl who plunges into the "sinful" big city and risks getting lost there – told with a lighthearted, comedic, and sentimental touch. The nameless girl is persuaded by an experienced friend to earn her own money as a dancer in a bar, just like her. The "little one's" father mustn't find out, as he wants his daughter to lead a respectable, bourgeois life. Therefore, his daughter pretends to work night shifts as a telephone operator and conceals her dancing from him. Unlike her carefree, "experienced" friend, however, the "little one" is careful not to jeopardize her reputation through morally questionable behavior.

In August of 1949, Life Magazine ran a banner headline that begged the question: "Jackson Pollock: Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?" The film is a look back into the life of an extraordinary man, a man who has fittingly been called "an artist dedicated to concealment, a celebrity who nobody knew." As he struggled with self-doubt, engaging in a lonely tug-of-war between needing to express himself and wanting to shut the world out, Pollock began a downward spiral.
