Whoopi Goldberg chews up the scenery as she plays a stock broker who is consistently passed over for promotions and ideas because she is a woman. She quits her job and starts a company of her own and after having doors slammed in her face she comes up with the brilliant idea of inventing a mystery stock broker investment counselor as her partner. Only Dianne Weist knows her secret and she lends a helping hand as Whoopi takes New York Stock Exchange by storm. Then come the demands to meet this mysterious man, and partner in Whoopi's company. Lots of fun and hilarity come your way when you hook up with "The Associate".
