A noted psychologist, Dr. George Chapman, arrives in Los Angeles to recruit subjects for his study on women's sex habits. Agreeing to participate are four volunteers who share their most intimate secrets: cheating housewife Sarah Garnell, flighty intellectual Teresa Harnish, repressed nymphomaniac Naomi Shields and young widow Kathleen Ballard, whose fear that she's frigid inspires Chapman's assistant to conduct a little after-hours research of his own.
