...last week Georgia Gibbs, determined to be just "a meat and potatoes girl," was picking up a handsome payoff. Her gimmickless Mercury recording of Kiss of Fire had sold well over 1,000,000 copies, was one of the summer's big hits. She was as surprised as anybody, but there was no doubt about her success: nightclub crowds demand the song in every show; song pluggers dog her footsteps.

...sooner does Mike set eyes on Pat than he signs her to an all-round sports contract. As Mike puts it, "She's nicely packed. Not much meat on her, but what's there is cherce." Mike puts Pat on an ironclad training schedule, along with his heavyweight fighter Hucko (Aldo Ray) and his horse Little Nell. But deep down, Mike is a sentimental slob; before long, whenever he looks at Little Nell, he sees Pat's profile instead.
