A police inspector investigating the suicide of a [[Transvestism|transvestite]] named Patrick/Patricia seeks the advice of Dr. Alton, who narrates for him the story of Glen/Glenda.

Glen started out by asking to wear his sister's dress for a [[Halloween]] party. The narrative explains that Glen is a transvestite, but not a [[Homosexuality|homosexual]]. He hides his cross-dressing from his fiancée, Barbara, fearing that she will reject him. She voices her suspicion that there is another woman in his life, unaware that the woman is his feminine alter ego, Glenda.

Alton narrates that Glen is torn between the idea of being honest with Barbara before their wedding or waiting until after. Glen confides in a transvestite friend of his, John, whose wife left him after catching him wearing her clothes.

Glen/Glenda is caught in a storm. The sound of [[thunder]] drives him to collapse to the floor. An extended [[dream sequence]] begins, containing several vignettes symbolically depicting Glen's struggle with his sexuality. Glen/Glenda wakes and decides to tell Barbara the truth. She initially reacts with distress, but ultimately decides to stay with him. She offers him an [[Angora wool|angora]] sweater as a sign of acceptance.

Back in Dr. Alton's office, he relates another narrative, this one concerning a [[World War II]] veteran named Alan who underwent [[sex reassignment surgery]] to become "a lovely young woman" named Anne.
