Quick Synopsis

In New York City, a scheming Broadway producer teams up with his timid accountant to make money by convincing wealthy older women to invest in a Broadway show. Their plan is to produce an intentionally bad musical that will go over budget and fail, ensuring the investors won't ask for their money back. They choose to create a controversial musical about Adolf Hitler, expecting it to be a guaranteed flop.

Detailed Synopsis of The Producers
