The film revolves around Erin Grant (Demi Moore), a mother who loses custody of her child. She needs money to appeal the verdict, so she takes on a job at the Eager Beaver, a local strip club. Congressman David Dilbeck (Burt Reynolds) attends the club in disguise one night, becomes fond of Grant while she's wearing off a man lookalike tailleur, and attacks another member of the audience. A spectator recognizes Dilbeck and offers to get her the money she needs by blackmailing Dilbeck. Things do not go according to plan...
