In a darkened Broadway theater, a down on his luck actor, Harry, gets the break he needs—the chance to appear as the understudy for a major Hollywood action star in a two-man Kafka play. But before Harry can even recite his first lines at a midday pick-up rehearsal, all hell breaks loose.

Jake, one of the two stars of the play doesn’t want Harry as his understudy. Roxanne, the stage manager running the rehearsal turns out to be the jilted ex-fiancée Harry left at the altar. Additional complications: Roxanne doesn’t know that Harry, who changed his name has been cast as the understudy and Harry doesn’t know that Roxanne, who used to be an actress herself, failed to make the grade and has been forced to take a backstage job to pay the rent. Will Jake, Harry, and his ex-fiancée pull everything together in time for the curtain to go up?

Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, is in love with his neighbor, the Countess Olivia, but Olivia, mourning the death of her brother, has sworn off men for seven years.

Viola, a charming young woman, is shipwrecked and loses contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, believing he is dead. Viola decides to disguise herself as a man named Cesario to work as a page for Duke Orsino. Duke Orsino decides to use Cesario as a messenger to tell Olivia of his love for her. Olivia, believing Viola to be a man, falls in love with the messenger, while Viola falls in love with the Duke.

Sebastian, Viola’s brother, appears alive and well and further complicates the situation when Olivia mistakes him for his twin sister, Viola (who she believes is the male page Cesario). She asks Sebastian to marry her and they are secretly united. Finally, Sebastian and Viola both appear before Olivia and the Duke and Viola reveals she is a female and that Sebastian is her lost twin brother. The play concludes with the marriage of the Duke and Viola.
