When her car breaks down, she goes to Bertha's Oasis, a run-down lodge, for help. Bertha (Shelley Winters) turns out to be an ex-burlesque star who runs the lodge like a fiefdom and practically defines herself by her relationship with her abusive kept man, Eddie Collins (Michael Christian). Eddie rapes Liz at the first opportunity; despite her struggles, he believes she is in love with him and will make him a famous singer. Bertha refuses to help Liz, as does the handyman Keno (Ted Cassidy). Liz must find a way to escape the nightmare herself.

Damned by Faint Praise: Liz's reaction to Eddie's music is, "Well, it's just not my kind of music." Bertha says, "Yeah, but you liked it, didn't you?" Liz answers, "Oh, yeah. It's better than lots that I've heard before."
