When Laurel (Whoopi Goldberg) learns that her less-smart and sexist protégé, Frank (Tim Daly), is promoted, she quits to start her own company -- only to find out that the male-dominated Wall Street world can't take an African American woman seriously. And when her older, white, male business partner becomes the financial district's favored whiz, things really take a turn for the worse. Dianne Wiest co-stars in this comedy.
