Broadway producer Max Bialystock is famous for his spectacular opening night flops. Leopold Bloom is an uptight accountant who virtually discovers gold while reviewing Max's books. When Leo realizes that you can actually make more money with a flop than with a hit the two team up and begin a search for both the worst script and the worst director they can find to ensure failure. The script selection seems easy when the duo stumble upon 'Springtime for Hitler' an homage to the Fuhrer penned by Franz Liebkind a German sympathetic to the Nazi cause. Convinced that the script will incite outrage the duo needs a bad director to seal the deal. Campy director Roger DeBris and his assistant fit the bill perfectly. But when their scheme fails Max and Leo find themselves with the worst possible outcome: a hit. To make matters worse Franz is just a little peeved that Hitler was depicted disrespectfully... and he has a gun. Will Max and Leo survive the playwright's wrath? Will they go to jail for cooking the books? And will Leo ever submit to the advances of sexy Swedish receptionist/actress Ulla?
