Myron Breckinridge (Rex Reed) is waiting for her sex-change operation while a stoned surgeon stumbles into the operating room. Before the drugged doctor begins Myrons operation, he counsels her. Myron persists and the doctor goes through with it. An enthusiastic audience observing the operation applauds the medical achievement and rises in a standing ovation. After the operation, Myron arrives in Hollywood as Myra Breckinridge (Raquel Welch) while in the rest of this movie, Myron pops up from time to time as Myras alter ego. Myra goes to an acting academy owned by her uncle, Buck Loner (John Huston), a former cowboy star. The real reason for Myras arrival is to claim her half of Uncle Bucks estate, to which she says shes entitled. Buck Loner stalls by giving her a job teaching the history of motion pictures. Buck Loner has several friends. One of them is Leticia Van Allen (Mae West), an ancient Hollywood talent scout. The sex-starved septuagenarian runs an acting agency "for leading men only".
Having just undergone partial bottom "surgery" is one of the final steps in the complete transformation of Myron Breckinridge (Rex Reed) into Myra Breckinridge (Raquel Welch). Myra, however, cannot and does not want to put Myron totally in her past as being the person who shaped who is she is today. Myras goal in her new life is to realign the genders largely by breaking down the walls of traditional manhood. Masquerading as Myrons grieving widow, Myra attempts to do so by meeting with her estranged uncle, Buck Loner (John Huston), who operates an acting school. The direct stated outcome of Myra telling him that she feels that she is entitled to half of the valuable Westwood property where the acting school is located is only secondary to her primary mission. She may get some unwitting help in her mission by Casting Director Leticia van Allen (Mae West), who has already broken down many of those walls of manhood all on her own. Myras plan may be placed into jeopardy if Uncle Buck discovers the truth, he who *knows* that she isnt the widow of that "fag nephew" of his.
