Going on her first cruise with two friends, Dotty meets a string of characters which eventually leads her to the final event. With the introduction of Eileen who resides in lower Manhattan, she gets a weekend invitation to visit and a ticket to the renown Studio 54. While at the discothèque, she becomes acquainted and starts a new relationship with Jim. After dating, they meet in New York City and she decides to spend the night with him in Brooklyn Heights. At his apartment, Jims behavior becomes unsettling and Dotty decides to leave around midnight naively thinking she could go outside and hail a cab. After the door slams, she realizes the mistake she made because she is now stranded in a residential area with neither a car nor taxi on the street. Saying a prayer, she begins the walk along the dimly lit street hoping to find a phone booth or cab. Miraculously, in the distance, she spies a taxi on a cross street. The cabbie to her surprise does not drive away and she eventually makes it to the car. As she greets him, he turns to her and says something that has remained with her for over thirty years. This has convinced Dotty that an angel was sent to her rescue.
