Living in Tiger Tail County, Mississippi, middle aged Archie Lee Meighan and nineteen year old Baby Doll Meighan née McCargo have been married for close to two years. Their marriage is not based on love, but each getting what they want from the other. Their marriage agreement has them consummating their marriage on her twentieth birthday, which is in three days, the act to which Baby Doll is not really looking forward. But she does taunt him and other men with her overt baby doll sexuality, the baby doll aspect which she fosters by sleeping in their house's nursery in a crib. Baby Doll's now deceased father allowed the marriage on the stipulation that Archie Lee provide Baby Doll financial security as displayed by the most resplendent house in the south.

7.社会问题片，人类性爱方式或变性，居然是比推广了萝莉文化的《洛丽塔》还要早的萝莉形象，但似乎有更接近于《莫妮卡》（1953）那种性成熟的少女。其机智活泼风趣，予恶劣环境以讽刺，在本片中有着十分明确的诱惑的形象定位。2q
