Maxine (Max) is interested in becoming a member of the club Palm Royale & to become part of the lives of the ultra-wealthy in Palm Beach. Max jumps the back wall & attempts to befriend the ladies she admires from the society periodical "Shiny Sheets." She is identified, rebuffed, expelled by the manager, who informs her that she'd never become a member since it requires the sponsorship of an existing member. Robert Diaz, the ex Korean War Marine and current Palm Royale bartender, escorts her out. Maxine attempts to befriend Dinah Donohue when she sees her driving away in tears after an altercation with Eddie, the tennis coach at the Palm Royale. She gets Dinah to rear-end her vehicle & then gets her to confide in her. Dinah informs her that she is pregnant with Eddie, the tennis coach's child, but she does not want the child because she wants to be pragmatic about things. Maxine asks Dinah to become her sponsor, but she won't sponsor Maxine's membership to the Palm Royale because, as she says, a friendship between them is unlikely. When Max brings it up again, she explains that it does not look like she could afford the club membership on account of her dated attire. The clothing Max is wearing is actually pilfered from her comatose aunt-in-law, Norma Delacorte. Max returns to steal her aunt-in-law's jewelry & pawns it off to become cash solvent. Max runs into Linda, the feminist who attempts to recruit her in her movement, but Max declines. Later, she decides to visit Linda, the feminist to get her help with finding an abortion provider for Dinah. After the abortion Dinah is grateful, but she still will not sponsor her & calls Max a liar for pretending to be a Delacorte & having the financial wherewithal to become a member of the Palm Royale. Max picks up Dinah's dress for a ball & drives by the abandoned Delacorte mansion. Max tries on Dinah's dress, but Dinah catches her in the act. At that moment, Max's pilot, Delacorte's husband, shows up & Dinah is embarrassed & decides to sponsor Max.
