"Dove Linkhorn, a teenager, leaves Texas and hopes to find something better in New Orleans. It is the Great Depression, there are no jobs, and Dove cannot read. He tries working on a ship, selling coffee pots, making colorful condoms, but finds he is best paid using his body to "de-flower" a "virgin" in peep-shows. Feeling degraded, he starts drinking heavily. Meanwhile, he falls for one of the most beautiful prostitutes in the brothel he works for, Miss Halle Breedlove. She was once a school teacher, and was forced into prostitution because her husband found out she was passing as a white women, when in fact, she's a black woman. She tries to teach Dove to read in bed, they run away together, visit the zoo. Then Dove must return and face Miss Breedlove's jealous, insane lover, a man whose legs were cut off from a train rolling over them. He propels himself on a cart with wheels, and confronts Dove in the bar one day. Algren's great character study in the decadent life of the Big Easy.
