Karen Valentine shows up as Richard Long's 40th birthday present. He publishes a magazine called "The Man Who has Everything," but personally he is in a funk, and doesn't really have much. He doesn't need the stripper to come do her act and then leave. He needs Karen to come and stay. The next to the last film in Long's long career, he would die of heart failure before 1974 was out but it's a sweet one he goes out on. Karen Valentine is as cute as a button so it's not surprising Long can't resist, even if she does come with a dog and plants. It is a cute little movie, good for lifting spirits in a time when spirits really need lifting.
