The story

The film follows the rehearsal and performance of a farce called Nothing On, a hit British stage play that is preparing for its American debut in Des Moines, Iowa, with a second-rate, Broadway-bound theatrical troupe under the direction of Lloyd Fellowes. Among the cast members are fading star Dotty Otley, hot-tempered Garry Lejeune, insecure matinee heartthrob Frederick Dallas, myopic leading lady Brooke Ashton, bubbly Belinda Blair, and alcoholic character actor Selsdon Mowbray who is hard of hearing. Frantically working behind the scenes are stage manager Poppy Taylor and assistant Tim Allgood, who also act as understudies.
