Description: Shirley Simmons is a sharp-tongued Los Angeles taxicab driver who frequents a local diner owned by Max Kellerman and lives with her parents. She inherits controlling interest in the conglomerate Grayson Enterprises at the death of its founder Jonathan Grayson, one of her regular fares. Shirley is offered a $200 million buyout but declines the money in order to remain as chairman of the board. She clashes with conservative company vice president Roland Cushing but finds allies in secretary Nancy Boyer and attorney Barton Stone.
