Set in the late fifties, in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country. This farce centers on two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors, Leo and Jack. The pair discover through a newspaper that Florence, an older ailing woman, has been unable to find Max and Steve, her sister's children who moved away years ago, in order to include them in her multimillion-dollar inheritance. They decide to pose as Max and Steve to claim portions of it. When they discover that "Max" and "Steve" are actually "Maxine" and "Stephanie," they continue on, undaunted, in drag.
