Cashier Woody Allen agrees to pose as a writer to help his blacklisted friends get work. It goes so well that he also fronts for other writers. On the set of his most successful TV show, he begins a relationship with script writer Andrea Marcovicci who thinks he is really the writer. Meanwhile, his friend and actor Zero Mostel is pressured by investigators to find out more about Allen's private life, suspecting him of being a communist. It all comes crashing down when he is called to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee, before which Allen gives one of his most memorable one-liners.
