It is the 1940’s and a new show is opening, a musical version of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Starring as the leads in this show are former husband and wife, Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi. Lilli Vanessi is now engaged to General Harrison Howell, but it becomes clear that Lilli and Fred both still harbor feelings for each other. Meanwhile, the two main supporting characters in the show are played by Lois Lane and Bill Calhoun, night club performers and romantic partners who are trying to make their break on the big stage. Bill is a chronic gambler and when he is forced to sign an I.O.U to a local mob boss, he signs Fred’s name instead of his own. This causes gangsters to visit a confused Fred on opening night and demand the money. When Lilli threatens to leave the show before the second act, Fred sees having these men as an opportunity to force her to finish the show.
