A Broadway producer tries to rip off investors.

There's one epic scene, that makes up most of the first act, which is all kinds of crazy hilarious. The rest of the movie is nice, and often funny, and unexceptional.

One of the most vicious and funny satires ever made.
Un produttore di spettacoli di Broadway, parlando con un agente delle tasse, scopre che conviene di più avere un fiasco che un successo: così i due s'accordano per spremere alcune vecchiette, far loro finanziare una commedia musicale orribile, caduta la quale si godranno i soldi anticipati. Purtroppo per loro l'orribile copione ha un grande successo comico. I due finiranno in galera.
Un produttore in bancarotta e un contabile disonesto mettono in scena una commedia sperando nel suo fallimento, per poter poi sfruttare alcuni stratagemmi fiscali sulle detrazioni ed arricchirsi. Scelto un copione scritto da un reduce nazista desideroso di riabilitare la figura di Hitler e messi a capo della compagnia un regista dilettante e un attore dipendente da LSD, i due si preparano a grandi affari. La grottesca rapprentazione, però, ha un successo enorme, creando guai seri. (fonte: Wikipedia)
