Synopsis

A curator unearths a long-lost statue of Venus of Anatolia and is thrilled to display her in his New York museum. However, a naive young barber unwittingly brings the statue to life and the comic confusion runs rampant. Relishing her new existence, Venus immediately sets her cap for the barber and captivates him in the process. When a dream warns her of the humdrum life that would await her in bourgeois Ozone Heights should she land him, she realizes that once a goddess, always a goddess, and in a blinding flash is transformed back into marble, leaving the barber forlorn. But not for long, as who should arrive on the scene but a young woman who is not only the spitting image of the statue, but who simply adores Ozone Heights.
