When a down and out actor moves to Tucson to run the drama department at a high school he finds out that the department will be removed at the end of the semester due to budget cuts. Mr. Marschz then sets out to produce a ridiculous re-working of Hamlet (he didn’t like how the original ended!) in hope of inspiring people to donate funds to save the department.
