Despote sanguinaire et dément, insomniaque et épileptique, Caligula règne sur Rome au gré de ses pulsions meurtrières. Protégé des nombreux comploteurs par son fidèle esclave Ulmar, il terrorise les sénateurs et projette de rénover Rome en la dotant d'un gigantesque palais, dont le financement passera par un fastueux et orgiaque banquet où les invités devront dépenser sans compter. L'empereur fou et débauché multiplie les martyrs et les bains de sang, régnant sur un peuple opprimé et terrorisé. Il assassine notamment une jeune chrétienne, Livia, et son amant parce qu'elle se refusait à lui. Proche de la victime, Miriam, est une adoratrice du Dieu égyptien Anubis et décide de la venger. Elle se fait passer pour une fille de joie afin d'approcher Caligula pour le séduire. Mais Miriam s'avère être réellement attirée par l'empereur sanguinaire malgré ses orgies démentielles et sanglantes.

Traveling to the airport, he accidentally blows up his car, but mistakenly believes it an assassination attempt, and disguises himself in a heavy cast on the flight, which causes complications in the air and on land and leads to an awkward introduction to the Scotland Yard detectives at Heathrow.

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a respected but perfectionist actor. Nobody in New York wants to hire him anymore because he is difficult to work with. According to his long-suffering agent George Fields (Sydney Pollack), Michael's attention to detail and difficult reputation led a commercial he worked on to run significantly over-schedule, because the idea of a tomato sitting down was "illogical" to him. After many months without a job, Michael hears of an opening on the soap opera Southwest General from his friend and acting student Sandy Lester (Teri Garr), who tries out for the role of a hospital administrator Emily Kimberly but does not get it. In desperation, and as a result of his agent telling him that "no one will hire you", he dresses as a woman, auditions as "Dorothy Michaels" and wins the part. Michael takes the job as a way to raise $8,000 to produce a play, written by his roommate Jeff Slater (Bill Murray) and to star Sandy, titled Return to Love Canal. Michael plays his character as a feisty, feminist administrator, which surprises the other actors and crew who expected Emily to be (as written) another swooning female in the plot. His character quickly becomes a television sensation.
