A young girl walks along the street and goes into a building. She arrives at the modelling school, and looks very sloppy and ungainly. Can they make her into a model in 3 weeks? They measure her and we see some girls limbering up and doing exercises in black leotards, side stretches, one on her back 'bicycling'. The girls walk about with books on their heads.
