To sum up the plot of An Armful of Warm Girl, it is about a man who, after being divorced by his wife, flees to New York City. There he bounces from place to place looking for a substitute for his wife. Upon his arrival to New York he is instantly attracted to just about every young girl in a skirt. After establishing a relationship with one such woman he is pointedly pursued by yet another woman. In the end he has to decide between the two.

Great dialog, style
