When the son of a drag queen-club owner becomes engaged to the daughter of a senator, a comedic dinner party is held where two worlds collide.

Quote: Armand Goldman

Let me give you an image... It's a cliche, but it's an image. John Wayne.

Albert Goldman

Oh, can't we start with someone easier?

Armand Goldman

Oh, come on, you're a big fan (western accent) Just get of your horse and march into the saloon. (Albert puts on a sun hat) Nice touch.

Albert Goldman

(Does an extremely flamboyant swagger) Ma'am. (Swaggers back to the table) Too much?

Armand Goldman

Actually, that was perfect. I just never realized John Wayne walked that way.
