Ulla… "Go to work"

The original title “Springtime for H-i-t-l-e-r.” Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), an independent accountant, is discussing Max Bialystock’s (Zero Mostel) play right, finances from his last play. They realize that if you produce a flop, you don’t have to pay back the money you collect. This holds even if you sell more than 100% interest in the play. So they plan just that for the next play. First, they must get money so Max launches himself into “Little Old Lady Land”. Estelle Winwood gets to play “Hold me, Touch me.” To ensure the play is a flop, they find one called “Springtime for H-i-t-l-e-r"; they find players to match, such as Lorenzo Saint DuBois (L.S.D.) (Dick Shawn). In the meantime, Max, using the excess money, picks up an assistant who can only speak Swedish. That is Lee Meredith as Ulla. Do they succeed? Do they learn their lesson? Send me five dollars, and I will tell you. (Just kidding).
