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!
