The movie starts with Lloyd and his cast hurriedly rushing through final dress rehearsal before their opening night. The casts and Lloyd appear to be on edge because none of the actors and staff seem to know what is going on. Lloyd, as the director, seem to be annoyed with how unprepared they are for…
