Dance-hall "girl" Rosie Velez (Divine), lost in the desert, is helped to safety by gunman Abel Wood (Tab Hunter).

[edit] Trivia

• This is the first film that Divine doesn't work with John Waters.
• The title comes from the famous production nickname of Duel in the Sun (1946).
• John Waters was asked to direct the film but refused because he did not write the script.
• Edith Massey auditioned for the part of Big Ed, but Paul Bartel did not want her in the film because he thought it would look too much like a John Waters film without John Waters.
