Un serial killer annuncia che il suo prossimo bersaglio sarà il Concorso di Miss Stati Uniti. L'FBI decide allora di infiltrare una sua agente sotto copertura tra le concorrenti. La ricerca della candidata con le caratteristiche adatte cade sulla scorbutica Gracie Hart che si presenta come Miss New Jersey di rimpiazzo alla miss eletta, contestata perchè ha girato un film porno.
