If they raise more money than is needed to open a play, then make sure that play is a guaranteed flop, they will make more money than if the play was a hit. When they discover what they perceive to be the worst script ever - "Springtime For Hitler" written by neo-Nazi pigeon fancier - they are certain they have the disaster they need for their plan to work.

Un giorno riceve la visita di Leo Bloom, un timido ragioniere che deve riempire i libri contabili e che gli fa notare come una persona disonesta, messa nel contesto giusto, potrebbe guadagnare più soldi producendo un flop che non un grande successo. Immediatamente Bialystock comprende che l'idea potrebbe essere giusta e cerca di convincere Bloom a studiare un piano per mettere in scena uno spettacolo dall'insuccesso assicurato e poi fuggire con i soldi stanziati dagli ignari investitori ...
