In the turbulent world of show business, two unlikely partners rise from the gritty stages of burlesque to become the iconic comedy duo that would captivate radio waves, silver screens, and television sets across the nation.

This gripping drama peels back the curtain on their stormy partnership, revealing the raw emotions and unspoken tensions behind the laughter.
