Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin)\, a feisty\, veteran office manager\, instructs her on the perils and procedur es of office life -- and of working for Franklin Hart Jr. (Dabney Coleman) \, their chauvinistic\, sleazy boss\, and his right-hand woman\, the crisp \, nosy Roz (Elizabeth Wilson). Meanwhile\, Hart's endless attempts to sed uce his happily married secretary\, Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton)\, lead t he entire office to think she's a trollop. When Hart unfairly passes Viole t over for a promotion\, she drowns her sorrows at a local bar with Judy a nd Doralee\, who regales the others with tales of Hart's epic advances. La ter\, at Doralee's house\, the women smoke pot\, eat barbecue\, and concoc t hilarious revenge fantasies -- a rodeo hog-tie\, a Wild West shootout\, and a gothic Snow White scenario -- about killing their boss. When a mix-u p leads the women to think they have accidentally poisoned Hart's coffee\, they hatch a scheme to protect themselves by stealing Hart's body from th e morgue. When he turns up alive\, never having drunk the coffee\, they mu st kidnap him to prevent him from blackmailing them or calling the police.
