The young showgirl Nomi came to Las Vegas to look for development opportunities. She was cheated of all her luggage as soon as she got out of the car. Fortunately, she met a kind go-go make-up artist, and the two began a deep friendship. The ambitious Nuomi wanted to become famous in the dance world, but his strong inferiority complex developed into extremely sensitive self-esteem, coupled with the ambiguity of moral concepts, made Nuomi want to escape the identity of "man's plaything" on the one hand, and on the other hand. Unscrupulously or even unconsciously sell the flesh to gain success. When she replaced the original go-go star Christie as she wished, she discovered that the true social identity of the go-go dancer can only be a "man's plaything". Neither the superstar nor the pawn can escape. At most, the way is different, and the essence remains unchanged.
Nomi's moral values represent the personal ideas of screenwriters and directors, and ambiguity is their characteristic. On the one hand, the film criticizes the prostitution nature of the so-called "entertainment industry", but at the same time it relishes the extravagant performances, luxurious stage layouts and sexy bodies of actresses. The traditional male perspective and hedonistic attitude towards life obscured the film's moral judgment and sense of social responsibility, and the film fell into a crisis of expressing its position.
When Nomi finally visited Christie in the hospital, what Christie said was the main theme, "I know, there are always people who are younger, more ambitious, and want this position. I understand."
