The plot of the film focuses on a teenage plum girl named Tracy Turnblad. Tracy lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with her overweight kind hearted mother Edna. Her best friend Penny Pingleton watch the Corny Collins Show, a teenage dance show hosted by Corny Collins. This desire to be in the Corny Collins Show is Tracy's dream, but Edna, worried that her daughter will be mocked by other because of her physical appearance (obesity), refuses her to be in the show, although she is reluctant to let her daughter spread her wings.
When Tracy auditions to be in the Corny Collins Show, she ends up being rejected by Velma Von Tussle for being an overweight and supporting segregation. Tracy is sent to detention for skipping school and discovers the "Negro Day" kids practicing in the detention room. Tracy befriends Seaweed J. Stubbs, the students' best dancer and Motormouth Maybelle's son, who teaches Tracy several dance moves. As Tracy leaves detention, she inadvertently bumps into Link and dreams of a life with him. Link tells Tracy to attend a record hop where Corny Collins could give her an opportunity on the show.
