With the title as a reference to Pabst's heroine in "Pandora's Box," this short is a kaleidoscope of swirling images. Lulu is a party girl, at the center of a spinning roulette wheel; chips fall where they may. She gives seductive looks; she travels by train, taking lovers; mushrooms sprout, giving phallic counterpoint to the wheels. Then, like Pabst's Lulu, she faces extreme danger. Are these the wages of sin?
