Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a talented voice actor who quits when he realizes he will be voicing a children's cartoon that portrays smoking. Daniel is a good father, loved by his three children, but not that good a husband, engaging in stunts like hiring a petting zoo and allowing children to run wild through the house for his son Chris's birthday party. Daniel's wife Miranda (Sally Field), an interior designer, has reached the end of her patience with their marriage and seeks a divorce due to the two of them not having anything in common anymore. Since Daniel has no steady source of income, Miranda gets primary custody of their three children, 16-year-old Lydia Hillard (Lisa Jakub), 13-year-old Chris Hillard (Matthew Lawrence) and 5-year-old Natalie Hillard (Mara Wilson) and Daniel has visitation rights limited to Saturday evenings. The news is crushing to Daniel, who adores his children.
When Daniel learns that Miranda intends to place an advertisement for a housekeeper, he requests to pick them up from school and spend time with them, but Miranda refuses. Daniel sabotages the ad that Miranda wrote, changing the numbers on the copy so he could be the only one who could call. He calls Miranda several times, posing as a series of increasingly disturbing applicants, and eventually presents the perfect applicant: a 60-year-old woman with a Scottishaccent with years of experience, giving the name "Mrs. Doubtfire"(he comes up with that name in a snap decision, upon seeing an article with the heading: POLICE DOUBT FIRE WAS ACCIDENTAL). Miranda is impressed enough to have "Mrs. Doubtfire" come over to the house to interview for the position. Daniel recruits his brother Frank (Harvey Fierstein), a makeup artist, to create the Mrs. Doubtfire disguise.
