==Plot==
In 1990, [[Joy Mangano]], an airline booking agent residing in [[Peconic, New York|Peconic]], [[New York (state)|New York]], struggles financially while juggling a complicated family life. Living with Joy
Joy's [[overachievement|overachieving]] paternal half
Mimi and Joy's best friend, Jackie, encourage Joy to pursue her inventing ambitions. Frustrated when using a conventional mop, she designs and builds an innovative [[Joy Mangano#Miracle Mop|self-wringing]] type. Trudy, a wealthy Italian widow Rudy is dating, agrees to invest in Joy's product. They contract a [[California]] company to manufacture the mop's parts at a low price.
To avoid a potential patent lawsuit, the company advises Joy to pay $50,000 in royalties to a man in [[Hong Kong]] who has a similar product. When the manufacturer repeatedly bills Joy to remake their faulty parts, she refuses to pay.
Line 54 ⟶ 57:
Joy meets [[QVC]] executive Neil Walker, who agrees to sell her mops on TV. To manufacture 50,000 additional units, she takes out a second home mortgage. When the first TV attempt fails after the celebrity pitchman improperly demonstrates the product, Joy demands she be allowed to do a second infomercial. The mop sells out, earning thousands of dollars; her success is soon tempered by Mimi's sudden death.
Joy's fledgling business is financially jeopardized after Peggy pays the manufacturer's excessive overcharges without Joy's approval. The manufacturer refuses to refund the money, and a contract loophole allows them to fraudulently patent Joy's mop design as their own.
Shortly after filing for [[bankruptcy]], Joy discovers there never was a similar product in Hong Kong, and the manufacturer has defrauded her. She confronts owner Derek Markham, forcing him to refund the overcharges, pay damages, and relinquish any claim to her patent or else face criminal charges.
