Pretty divorcee Susan Goodenow (Stockard Channing) was a TV reporter who worked on The Big Rip-off – a consumer advocate show that aired locally in Los Angeles on West Hollywood station KXLA.
Wild disguises were her stock-in-trade as she set about her investigations to expose the con men, assisting the show’s host, Brad Gabriel (Ron Silver).
Earline Cunningham (Sydney Goldsmith) was Susan’s friend, a gorgeous but dim-witted receptionist.
Earline admired other people and tried to emulate them but always wound up making herself look foolish. She was so sweet, though, that station management didn’t have the heart to fire her for the dumb things she did.
KXLA was owned by Gus Clyde (Max Showalter), a former actor who constantly bragged about his illustrious past, calling the station “The House That Gus Built.”
