Their drag act is well-known in Sydney and Mitzi and Felicia get an offer to perform at a casino in the remote town of Alice Springs , Bernadette decides to tag along. The threesome ventures into the outback with Priscilla, a lavender-colored school bus that doubles as dressing room and home on the road. Along the way, the trio encounters a number of strange characters, as well as incidents of homophobia, while Bernadette becomes increasingly concerned about the path her life has taken.
