Die Waffen der Frauen (1988)
Die ehrgeizige Sekretärin Tess findet eine Anstellung bei der Unternehmensberaterin Katherine Parker, einer knallharten Geschäftsfrau. Tess' weitsichtiger Vorschlag, eine Fusion zweier Firmen in die Wege zu leiten, verbucht Katherine auf ihr Konto, was Tess zufällig herausfindet, als Katherine sie nach einem Skiunfall bittet, kurzfristig ihre Angelegenheiten zu übernehmen. Tess gibt sich daraufhin als Geschäftsfrau aus, arbeitet mit dem Fusionsvermittler Jack Trainer zusammen und leitet "ihren" Deal in die Wege. Als Katherine unversehends zurückkehrt, stellt sie Tess wütend bloß. Doch durch ihre neugewonnene Kompetenz kann Tess das Vertrauen der Firmenbosse zurückgewinnen und erhält schließlich sogar einen Platz als leitende Angestellte.
