 A young girl finds out the reason why she isn t popular and doesn t get invited to many parties is because of her posture--she slouches a lot, which in 1953 was apparently a faux pas on a level with contracting a social disease or voting Democratic. However, by a fortuitous coincidence, a doctor who is a specialist at posture just happens to give a lecture to her science class. She resolves to improve her posture so she can be popular and people will invite her to parties, where she can have fun, get drunk and wind up as an unwed mother--but one with good posture.
