A bad Polish actor is just trying to make a living when Poland is invaded by the Germans in World War II. His wife has the habit of entertaining young Polish officers while he's on stage, which is also a source of depression to him. When one of her officers comes back on a Secret Mission, the actor takes charge and comes up with a plan for them to escape.

A troupe of bumbling Polish actors must navigate the absurd perils of Nazi occupation using nothing but their theatrical training and sheer audacity. This sharp satire turns the terrifying reality of wartime espionage into a riotous game of mistaken identities and staged heroics.
