Synopsis

Rich and Famous is about a playwright, Bing Ringling, who has produced over 800 plays. However, his producer yearns for a flop, so she can taste failure. She attempts to sabotage his current play. Bing goes on an odyssey where he confronts a variety of odd and wacky characters as he tries to salvage his play. Along the journey he encounters Anatol Torah (a spaced out composer), his parents, and his old girlfriend. Bing also seeks the help of his childhood friend, a now movie star named Tybalt Dunleavy.
