With the help of his incompetent agent Desmond Shaw (Spinetti), he tries to secure the romantic lead opposite Kim Basinger, attempts to play a corpse while suffering from a cold and when starring as a transvestite in a sex farce, he tries to convince his long suffering fiancée Sue Bishop€™s (McKee) parents that he€™s in The Importance of Being Ernest, with hilarious results.
