Tara B. True is a flight attendant who makes a weekly swing through New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. In each city, she has a man: Edward, older and wealthy; Johnny, a beach bum with gambling debts; and, Davey, a rock musician on the cusp of success. Tara is a free spirit, faithful to each man in her own way, and so stunning that she dresses in a wig and ill-fitting uniform while she's working so men won't harass her constantly. The low-life whom Johnny is in debt to figures out a way to use Tara to help him execute a daring in-flight robbery. But will Tara stand by helplessly, or is superchick ready for action?

Superchick arrived at the tail end of the 'stewardess' exploitation boom, when airlines marketed female flight attendants as sexually available—this film just made it literal.
Joyce Jillson became a celebrity astrologer after her acting career, later advising Nancy Reagan and various Hollywood clients—apparently the stars predicted she'd punch men in movies first.
