Beware of a Holy Whore opens with a soliloquy delivered by Werner Schroeter about the synopsis of a Disney story featuring Goofy, the dog. In the tale, Goofy cross-dresses in his aunt’s clothes to teach a kindergarten class and, after being mocked by the children, takes a “poor orphan girl” into his home. The girl turns out to be a dwarf gangster named Wee Willy, whom Goofy is duped into caring for by wearing the clothes he had discarded after the schoolyard ridicule. That night, Goofy’s house is raided by police and Wee Willy is arrested, revealing the “poor orphan girl’s” true identity to Goofy.
