Unhappy in love and having nothing but contempt for her spineless parents, Catherine makes up her mind to become a prostitute.  She confides her distress to a priest before joining a powerful organisation run by Pornotroops which takes under its wing all manner of unfortunates who are resigned to their fate.  Pornotroops and his brother are a ruthless pair who will stop at nothing to ensure they have supremacy of the market, punishing without mercy anyone who defies their will...
