An unemployed actor with a reputation for being difficult disguises himself as a woman to get a role in a soap opera. Michael Dorsey is an unemployed actor with an impossible reputation. In order to find work and fund his friend's play he dresses as a woman, Dorothy Michaels, and lands the part in a daytime drama.
