The Ladies Man is a 2000 comedy film starring Tim Meadows as Leon Phelps - a smooth-talking, sex-crazed radio show host. The film follows Phelps as he tries to navigate his way through relationships and finally find true love. The film also stars Karyn Parsons and Billy Dee Williams in supporting roles.

Here, he becomes an overnight sensation with his show "The Ladies Man," where he dishes out sexual advice to his listeners, often through songs and suggestive dialogue.

While Phelps is on cloud nine with his newfound fame, he still longs for true love. He has a wide array of ex-girlfriends, each of whom he treated poorly, but they still find themselves drawn to his charming personality. One of his former flames, Julie Simmons (Karyn Parsons), approaches him for help in finding her missing father. Leicester (Billy Dee Williams), a rich businessman and Simmons' father, has suddenly disappeared, and Simmons is convinced that Phelps can help her find him.

Phelps is initially reluctant to take on the challenge, preferring to focus on his radio show and his quest for sexual conquests. However, he reluctantly agrees to help Simmons, and the two of them set out to find her father. Along the way, they encounter a range of quirky characters, including a strange couple who like to capture people on film to use as inspiration for their art, a group of Amish people who take a liking to Phelps, and a dangerous criminal who threatens to take Phelps' life.

As Phelps and Simmons spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other. But the path to true love is never smooth, and they must overcome various obstacles before they can be together.
