With plans to pocket the leftover funds when the show bombs, the pair creates the ultimate box office fiasco: a musical called 'Springtime for Hitler.' Of course… not everything goes as planned. This uninhibited and irreverent romp features a hit score including, 'When You Got It, Flaunt It,' 'We Can Do It,' 'I Wanna Be a Producer,' and 'Prisoners of Love.'
