 Miss Jones, a lonely, depressed spinster, commits suicide. Although she s led an exemplary life, suicide damns her. When she learns this at a way-station en route to Hell, she wishes she d lived a more sinful life; she asks to return to earth briefly to pursue one of the seven deadly sins, lust. The clerk grants this wish, and she s first assigned a teacher who tells her to focus on pleasure even as he dispenses pain. After time with him, Miss Jones seeks pleasure with another woman, with a couple, with two men, with a stream of water from a bathtub hose, and with a bowl of fruit. When these adventures end, eternal punishment mocks her brief experiments with lust.
