In this wild comedy of marital discord, a popular film actor who idolizes Chaplin is thrown into an odd love triangle by his wife, who, unable to have a child, insists he take a second wife--a mute Gypsy girl--to provide them with a baby. The proposed arrangement makes life even more unsettling for the actor, already dissatisfied with the mindless films he makes to support the family's wealthy and ultra-modern lifestyle.
