The story
In a parody of tennis instructional videos, Dick Van Patten takes on the role of an unscrupulous tennis player whose only interest is to beat opponent Caitlyn Jenner (appearing as "Bruce Jenner", before her transition) in any manner possible, including interruptions caused by his using a sexy Nicollette Sheridan as a secret weapon of distraction.
