George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s, are playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in Buffalo, New York. On the brink of a disastrous split-up, caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong, does go wrong.
