生命火花

　　Carnelle Scott is best-known in her hometown of Yazoo City, Mississippi, for her unrepentant promiscuity. An orphan taken in by her genteel relatives, she idolizes her older cousin, Elain Rutledge, a former Fourth of July "Miss Firecracker" contest winner who is taking time out from her life as a pampered wife in Atlanta to give a speech on "My Life as a Beauty" at this year's pageant. Determined to follow in Elain's footsteps, Carnelle puts a damper on her libido and enlists the help of local seamstress Popeye Jackson in preparing for the pageant. She also implores Elain to let her borrow the red dress in which Elain won the contest in 1972. Meanwhile, Elain's brother, ne'er-do-well Delmount Williams, arrives with a get-rich-quick scheme that involves hocking the family estate. Into this mix steps Mac Sam, one of the men who contributed to Carnelle's scandalous past. 　　译文(2): 卡内尔 · 斯科特在她的家乡密西西比州的亚祖城以其不知悔改的滥交而闻名。她是一个孤儿，被优雅的亲戚收养，她崇拜她的表姐，伊莱恩 · 拉特利奇，前国庆节“爆竹小姐”比赛的获胜者，正在亚特兰大作为娇生惯养的妻子抽出时间，在今年的选美比赛上发表“我的美丽人生”的演讲。决心追随伊莱恩的脚步，卡内尔给自己的性欲泼了一盆冷水，并寻求当地裁缝大力水手杰克逊的帮助，为选美比赛做准备。她还恳求伊兰借给她那件1972年伊兰赢得比赛时穿的红色连衣裙。与此同时，伊莱恩的弟弟德尔蒙特?威廉姆斯(ne’er-do-well Delmount Williams)带来了一份快钱，包括将家族财产抵押出去。麦克 · 山姆也加入了进来他是卡内尔丑闻的幕后黑手之一。
