Humbert (Jeremy Irons) stays in a house. The landlord is Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith) and Humbert becomes obsessed with her daughter Dolores (who is the lolita). Humbert marries Charlotte, and when Dolores went to a camp. Charlotte finds out that Humbert doesn't like her at all and is actually interested in Dolores. Charlotte gets killed by a car accident. Humbert (as a stepfather by now) takes Dolores and they go for a road trip.

Continuity mistake: Lolita goes into Humbert's room and she is chewing gum. She then sits on Humbert's lap and sticks her gum on a piece of paper on his desk. A couple of shots later, she is chewing gum again.
