Mrs. Nash is a screenplay written to imagine what led the real Mrs. Nash, the first historically documentable EuroAmerican male to live his life as a woman in the United States, to choose to live as a woman.
Claypool Wright is a young Bostonian lawyer who is rejected by polite society when he is caught having sex with his former college professor, Edward Neisman.
The film opens with the death of Mrs. Nash and the Army coroner discovering that she has hidden her birth gender well. This arc serves as the film's frame story.
We then catch Clay with Edward at the moment his father discovers his unsavory activity, banishing him from the family and his inheritance. We follow Clay as he struggles with his own feelings and needs, until, in a flash of insight, he decides to try to re-enter polite society by becoming a woman.
Once he is courted by an Army officer, Clay becomes Eleanor and migrates to Fort Riley, Kansas, where her husband is stationed. Kansas, though, holds many surprises for Eleanor, the least of which is a chance encounter with Neisman.
The film ends with the frame story coming back, where Army officials decide to keep Eleanor's true identity secret.
