Shelley Long stars as a spoiled Beverly Hills resident who does nothing but shop, prompting her husband to tell her he's fed up with her selfishness. To prove him wrong, she assumes leadership of Troop Beverly Hills in the Girl Scout-like Wilderness Girls organization. Troop Beverly Hills is made up of brats who are the laughingstock of the scouting community.

Shelley Long discovers that when the going gets tough, the tough go camping in Troop Beverly Hills, a comedy about lifestyles of the rich and outrageous. Flamboyantly wealthy Phyllis Nefler (Long) has everything money can buy-a drop-dead Beverly Hills mansion, a classic Rolls, furs, jewelry and designer gowns. The one thing she doesn't have is her husband Freddy (Craig T. Nelson), who`s leaving her for good. Maybe. Determined to prove she`s still the creative, energetic woman Freddy once loved, Phyllis throws luxury to the wind and becomes leader of her daughter`s Wilderness Girls troop. But how much can this chic cookie take before she crumbles? Is saving her marriage really worth trading Gucci bags for sleeping bags-not to mention actually touching bugs? Featuring cameos by Robin Leach, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pia Zadora, Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Dr. Joyce Brothers and Cheech Marin, Shelley Long blazes new comic trails in this hilarious trail-by-campfire that leaves the wilderness wilder than ever.
