      SYNOPSIS

Pushed to the boiling point, Violet, Judy, and Doralee form a strong 
female triumvirate through their  mutual dissatisfaction with workplace 
conditions and especially obnoxious office boss Franklin Hart, Jr. They 
concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, 
hypocritical bigot they call their  boss. In a hilarious turn of events, 
Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their  
boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give 
their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had 
always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
