Set in York, Pennsylvania in 1958, this farce centers on two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors, Leo Clark and Jack Gable. The pair discover through a newspaper that Florence, an older ailing woman, has been unable to find Max and Steve, her daughter's children who moved away to England as children in order to include them in her multi-million dollar inheritance.  They decide to pose as Max and Steve to claim portions of it.
