Bob and Walt Tenor are conjoined twins living in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, running a diner. Walt, the outgoing twin, wants to be an actor, while Bob is shy and has a secret long-distance relationship with a pen pal named May Fong. After a successful play, Walt convinces Bob to move to Hollywood. They rent an apartment and meet April Mercedes. Walt explains they share a liver, which is why he looks older. Walt struggles to find work until Cher hires him as a co-star for a TV show; they use bluescreen effects to hide Bob. Walt becomes famous, and they eventually embrace their conjoined status as celebrities. However, Walt realizes Bob is unhappy and misses May. Walt demands a surgical separation. After a series of events including Walt's erratic behavior and Bob's eventual consent, the surgery is successful.
