Rosalynd and Celia are roommates and rivals - each want to play the lead in a local version of Romeo and Juliet. Celia slips knock out drops into Rosalynd's coffee and leaves the unfortunate actress in the apartment hogtied and gagged. When Celia returns Rosalynd, who has escaped her bonds, grabs her and exacts her retribution. The resulting cycle of captures force the play's director to step in, but her interference doesn't get the intended results.
