Miriam Knight, Stockard Channing, is an intelligent, though unattractive young woman who is treated disrespectfully by those around her due to her homely appearance. She has changed colleges five times in three years, trying a wide range of classes but still unable to find a boyfriend. At her new college, things go from bad to worse: she is either ignored or humiliated by almost everyone. Miriam finally lands the lead in a play, but her jealous roommate, knowing that Miriam is allergic to roses, places some in a box during Miriam’s performance, causing Miriam to sneeze herself into humiliation.
