Synopsis: In this riotous showbiz comedy a producer, his secretary and associates try to rewrite an epic drama by a neophyte playwright into a broad farce. A vicious gossip columnist tries to blackmail the producer into marriage while a scatterbrained old character erroneously creates the impression that the leading lady has dies. The author, also an apprentice mortician, is appalled by theh histrionics that accompany the opening of a Broadway show. As the columnist draws mistaken conclusions that this show is really a cover for a bizarre murder cult, the rest of the group foster the impression and substitute a lady undertaker in the role of the much alive leading lady. Mistaken identities, romance, and sill situations combine to keep the audience laughing through three acts of hilarity.
