George and Charlotte Hay,
traveling actors, are performing Cyrano de
Bergerac and Private Lives in a repertory
theatre in Buffalo. Charlotte has grandiose
dreams of becoming a Hollywood film star;
George, on the other hand, is quite satisfied as
a stage actor, and sees live theatre as being
superior to film. George receives a phone call
from famous film director Frank Capra who says
that he needs replacements for Ronald Colman and
Greer Garson, the two stars of his current film,
The Twilight of The Scarlet Pimpernel, and that
he plans to see one of George's shows to
consider George and Charlotte for the parts.
Charlotte, however, doesn't believe George when
he gives her the news; she has just learned that
George has had an affair with one of their
actors, Eileen, and that Eileen is pregnant with
George's child. Charlotte tells George she plans
to leave with Richard, a successful and
charismatic lawyer. George, despondent, gives up
hope and turns to alcohol to drown his misery.
What follows is sheer mayhem!
