Frank Hart is a pig. He takes advantage in the grossest manner of the women who work with him. When his three assistants (Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton) manage to trap him in his own house they assume control of his department and productivity leaps, but just how long can they keep Hart tied up?

This 24-character tragic comedy runs several simultaneous plot lines with director Robert Altman's signature mastery, featuring Lillian Gish, Carol Burnett, Desi Arnaz Jr. and Mia Farrow are among the stars.
