Michael Dorsey is a talented actor, but his demanding nature and stubborn temperament have antagonized every producer in New York. Now his agent insists no one will hire him. But Michael needs money -- eight thousand dollars to be exact -- and to earn it, he's willing to play the role of a lifetime.
Synopsis: A talented but out-of-work actor can't get a break until he pretends to be a woman and wins a part on a soap opera. As his character begins to dominate the show, and he falls for one of his female costars (as her dad falls for him/her), he lands in a doozie of a panty pincher.
