'Pleasantly plump' teenager Tracy Turnblad achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show. Now a teen hero, she starts using her fame to speak out for the causes she believes in, most of all integration.

The rivalry comes to a head as Amber and Tracy vie for the title of Miss Auto Show 1963.
