长久以来，剧作家大卫（约翰·库萨克 John Cusack 饰）都过着郁郁不得志的生活，艺术家特有的清高让他对如今腐败混乱的话剧界充满了失望之情。为了讨好情妇奥利芙（詹妮弗·提莉 Jennifer Tilly 饰），黑帮大佬看中了名不见经传的大卫的剧本想要投资，作为前提条件 ，大卫必须让奥利芙饰演主角。虽然奥利芙唠叨的个性和蹩脚的演技让大卫深感抓狂，但在利益面前，他痛苦的屈服了。就这样，一个奇怪的剧组诞生了。 剧本的漏洞，女演员们之间的矛盾，男主演日益肥胖的身材都让大卫感到绝望，但令他惊奇的是，一直监视着奥利芙的保镖契奇（查兹·帕尔明特瑞 Chazz Palminteri 饰）在无意中展现了过人的编剧才能。在契奇的帮助下，被改写的剧本居然获得了盛大的成功，与此同时，契奇对由自己操刀的剧本展现出的病态执着和剧组里混乱的男女关系让大卫陷入了另一个困境……。一个年轻的拿破仑军官追踪一个神秘的女人而来到一个年迈男爵的城堡，在那里他发现这个女人是听命于一个老巫婆，其最终目的是迫使男爵自杀…… Roger directed for two days on a set left over from a previous production, and without a proper script. He hired Francis Coppola to write a script and finish the picture. After five weeks of shooting, Roger fired Francis, and hired me to finish the picture. Jack Hill was hired to write a new script with me. A lot of what Francis shot was thrown out, except for the stuff with the witch from WIZARD OF OZ. (Dorothy Newman), and I finished the picture in five days of shooting. All of the interiors are Roger's (with the exception of Francis's witch's lair), and most of the exteriors are mine. To the best of my recollection, and contrary to legend, Jack Nicholson did not direct any of the film.。
