Holly Golighty has a partially furnished apartment, owns a cat with no name, gets rid of the "mean reds" by visiting Tiffany's, and is forever misplacing her door key, much to the dismay of her upstairs neighbour Mr. Yunioshi, a Japanese photographer. Holly makes her living in two ways: she receives $50 from her gentlemen escorts whenever she needs powderroom money, and she is paid $100 for each weekly trip she makes to Sing Sing, where she visits Sally Tomato, an ex-mobster.
