Fran is one of those women, a former hillbilly herself, who knows how to expertly manipulate men. But then she gets involved with Leroy Landers, who wants more from her than what she wants to give, more than she\u003ci\u003e can\u003c\/i\u003e give, and when he doesn't get it, his backwoods rage boils over. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpon its release in 1957, \u003ci\u003eTake It Out in Trade\u003c\/i\u003e was immediately declared \"objectionable\" by the Roman Catholic Church's National Office of Decent Literature.
