一对曾经恩爱现已离婚的夫妻,不得不继续在音乐剧《驯悍记》中扮演主角。而这部音乐剧排练的过程并不顺利,一方面,是因为剧组要应对前情侣们的争执,再一个,就是有一伙黑帮,他们想要拿回属于自己的钱。Fred and Lilly are a divorced pair of actors who are brought together by Cole Porter who has written a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. Of course, the couple seem to act a great deal like the characters they play. A fight on the opening night threatens the production, as well as two thugs who have the mistaken idea that Fred owes their boss money and insist on staying next to him all night.
