Poland, 1941, under German occupation: a famous actress cheats on her husband with a much younger resistance fighter, setting off a romantic farce backstage at a musical theater troupe. A German general, his strict secretary, his foolish adjutant, a double agent, and the leading lady's makeup artist all get tangled into the chaos of coincidences, twists, and disguises. Through musical numbers and frantic chases, the troupe ultimately triumphs over their occupiers.
