Plot

Spunky and precocious high school senior Mindy Evans spurns her decent, but frustrated boyfriend Bill and has a fling with teacher Jack Thompson, a hunky nice guy that's married. Mindy finds out that she might be pregnant. While waiting for the results of her pregnancy test, Mindy decides to alleviate the tension by embarking on an impromptu road trip to Big Sur, California with her best girl friend Sandy.

Although a dated and corny for modern audiences, the film remains as a nice period piece that reflects the very early 1970s youth culture. Despite a little bit of nudity, the film is surprisingly non-exploitative and non-judgmental about its subject matter.
