After learning that producer George Weiss is trying to purchase Christine Jorgensen's life story, Ed meets with Weiss to direct a now fictionalized film titled I Changed My Sex! but is rejected.

Ed persuades Weiss to let him direct by arguing that having a star in the film would sell tickets, and they could sign the financially struggling Lugosi for a low price.

He befriends Tor Johnson after a wrestling match and casts him, while also becoming friends with famous psychic The Amazing Criswell, who advises Ed on how to sell himself better.
