The story of famed performance artist Andy Kaufman's bizarre quest to find a woman who could defeat him in the wrestling ring. Footage taken from Kaufman's personal archives highlight his reign as the "World's Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion," a title that earned him the wrath of liberated females all across America. Shortly after pinning a female competitor on a 1979 broadcast of Saturday Night Live, the eccentric funnyman announced that he would marry any woman powerful enough to end his untarnished wrestling track record.
