Based on historical events, and set in 1939 Hollywood, legendary film producer David O. Selznick (Phil Hesketh) abruptly throws out the script, fires the director, and halts the production of Gone with the Wind. Desperate to create the best film to ever come out of Hollywood, Selznick calls Victor Fleming (Don Goettler) from the set of The Wizard of Oz to direct, and seeks the talent of brilliant playwright and screenwriter, Ben Hecht (Richard Salvati) to rewrite the script. The only problem: Hecht hasn't read the book. The men have five days to rewrite the movie and restart the shoot, or the production will shut down. During the five madcap days, the trio, assisted by Selznick's assistant, Miss Poppenghul (Ollire Lane), frantically craft one of the most beloved screenplays of all time, surviving on only peanuts and bananas. Selznick and Fleming act out the book for Hecht, the phone rings off the hook, and composition is occasionally stalled by serious questions about race and the position of Jewish executives in Hollywood.
