Norbit (Eddie Murphy) is a very friendly African-American male who tends to see the positive side of things, even in difficult circumstances. As a baby he was literally thrown out of a car, and abandoned, outside a Chinese restaurant, the Golden Wonton, in Boiler Springs, Tennessee. In the restaurant, owned by Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy), and doubling as an orphanage, Norbit was raised. During elementary school, Norbit was saved from two bullies by a mean child, Rasputia (Eddie Murphy), who later became his girlfriend. As an adult, he marries the overweight Rasputia. She has three imposing older brothers, Big Black Jack (Terry Crews), Earl (Clifton Powell), and Blue (Lester "Rasta" Speight), who threaten Norbit that he should never do anything that makes Rasputia unhappy. However, Rasputia is a very unfriendly woman.
A dilemma occurs when Kate (Thandie Newton), Norbit's crush from childhood, returns to town, and Norbit catches Rasputia cheating with a "powertap" workout instructor (Marlon Wayans). Norbit meets Kate for lunch hoping to rekindle their childhood romance, but she introduces him to her fiancé Deion (Cuba Gooding, Jr.).
Meanwhile, Rasputia's brothers (who own and operate Lattimore Construction) want to purchase the Golden Wonton as the building is zoned as commercial and has a liquor license. Mr. Wong decides to sell the orphanage to Kate, so the Lattimore brothers enlist Kate's fiancé to get her to unknowingly sign the liquor license transfer by using Norbit. Kate finds out that Norbit had her sign this document and confronts him, and Norbit yells at her to leave him alone forever. What Kate does not realize is that Rasputia threatened to physically harm Kate if Norbit doesn't force her away. Kate agrees to marry her fiancé the next day, when Norbit receives a background check on Deion detailing his criminal past (and multiple wives and children). At the wedding Mr. Wong arranges with the help of some pimps a delay of the ceremony until Norbit, who was imprisoned at home by one of Rasputia's brothers, after escaping arrives at the church and convinces Kate that she should not marry Deion, has ex-families who recognise him still their father, whom Norbit had contacted and had show up at the wedding. This angers Rasputia and the Latimore brothers, who chase Norbit out of the church with the intent to kill. Rasputia storms out of the church, grabbing a shovel, and plowing through the town citizens who have banned together against the Latimores. When her brothers are chased off, Rasputia finally makes her way to Norbit, shovel in hand. As she raises it, Mr. Wong exits the church with a flagpole/spear, shouting, "WHALE HO!" Rasputia pauses and asks, insulted, "Did someone just call me a whale?" to which Wong replies, "Yeah, and a ho!" before hurling the flagpole/spear at her and impaling her buttocks. She lets out a long, pained scream and bolts off, out of the town and out of Norbit's life. Kate is delighted to call off the marriage, and Norbit and Kate get married under the trees with Mr. Wong and the orphans attending.
In the end, Big Black Jack, Earl, and Blue move to Mexico and now have a job as servants at a nightclub. Rasputia also moves with them and has a job, too, of becoming a showgirl at the same nightclub and makes the "Chair Dance" parody of Flashdance, ending the movie.
