Acclaimed director John Landis (Animal House, The Blues Brothers) presents this madcap send-up of late night TV, low-budget sci-fi films and canned-laughter-filled sitcoms packed with off-the-wall sketches that will have you in stitches. Centered around a television station which features a 1950s-style sci-fi movie interspersed with a series of wild commercials, wacky shorts and weird specials, this lampoon of contemporary life and pop culture skewers some of the silliest spectacles ever created in the name of entertainment. A truly outrageous look at the best of the worst that television has to offer.

알콜 문제로 영화계를 오랜 기간 떠났던 제작자 멜 펀. 그는 야심차게 영화계로의 복귀를 꿈꾸고, 그 첫 프로젝트로 무성영화를 만들 계획을 세운다. 제작자는 이 시대착오적인 꿈을 필사적으로 반대하지만 멜은 굴하지 않고 더 큰 계획을 실행에 옮긴다. 할리우드 최고의 배우를 캐스팅하려는 것이다. 이제 멜과 동료들은 LA에 살고 있는 스타들을 찾아다니며 못 말리는 소동을 벌인다. 어쩌면 멜 브룩스의 가장 야심찬 영화일지도 모를 는 말 그대로 무성 영화의 형식을 과감하게 밀어 붙인다. 인물들의 목소리가 아니라 자막으로 모든 대사를 전달하는 것이다. 무성 영화의 형식, 특히 자막과 화면의 불일치를 이용해 웃음을 만들어내는 솜씨는 그 자체로 재미있을 뿐 아니라 이미지와 사운드에 대한 날카로운 영화적 논평으로 읽히기도 한다. 버트 레이놀즈, 제임스 칸, 폴 뉴먼 등 스타들의 과감하게 망가지는 연기도 재미를 더한다.

Margaret, furious with Henny for the blunder, fires him---but only temporarily. Another agent, Marty Allen, once married to and still in love with Margaret, signs Betty and Eileen. Henny arrives with Judy and Marian, and the nightclub manager asks Henny to emcee the show. Though he is not sure himself what they can do, Henny introduces the girls and they make a hit in a dramatic sketch. Big-time movie producer R. J. signs them to a film contract. Judy joins the WAVES, Marian the WACS and Marty the Marines and all have two weeks before induction, and that is more than long enough to shoot a Monogram musical-within-a-Monogram musical and have a few days to spare.
