In 1940, American Heartland Pictures, once a great studio producing hybrid talking/silent Shakespeare films, is now gushes forth the cheesiest, crappiest, lousiest low-budgetest serial adventures in the industry. And that's fine with Farley Rottenwood, the immigrant-turned-sort-of-mogul who bought the place and kept the owner's widow on as Girl Friday. But, while he produces his greatest—albeit most inept— serial adventure (which you get to read!)—his wife is cheating on him, his staff are dropping like flies, and Nazi agents are producing pro-German propaganda right behind his back...and believe it or not, this is funny!
