In Hollywood in 1951, Ed Wood, who had great ambitions but was busy doing nothing on the set all day, finally had the opportunity to stage a play directed by him. However, this undertaking ended in failure from the very beginning. I heard that producer George Weiss was planning a film called "I Changed Gender", and Ed Wood immediately nominated himself as the director and starring role of the film. Ed tried to persuade the retired movie star Bella Lugosi to come back and asked his girlfriend Dolores to also participate in the film. But although the preparatory work has been more than half completed, and the film's title has been repeatedly changed, Ed still has not won the filming contract. The frustrated Ed did not give up his dream, and he ran around for the funding of another film "Atomic Bride". For a sponsorship of tens of thousands of dollars, he succumbed to the request of a meat wholesaler and asked the wholesaler's son to play the heroic role in the film.
Ed was repeatedly frustrated in his career, and his girlfriend Dolores also left him. The exhausted Ed was forced into the hospital. In the clinic, Ed met the beautiful Cathy. The two fell in love at first sight, and Ed also found a moment of peace. Soon after being discharged from the hospital, the opportunity finally came again. Ed learns that a church intends to sponsor the filming of the film. He immediately rushed to lobby for his science fiction film script. In order to satisfy the other party, Ed also specially baptized all the staff and changed the title of the film in accordance with the requirements of the church. Despite the difficulties, Ed is still working hard and optimistically. The film is finally released. At the premiere, Ed was very excited. He believes that his ideal has been realized, and he can finally be remembered forever by the world. However, the film was not welcomed by people. Ed Wood is still just a failed dream maker in the end.
