World famous tenor, Tito Morelli, is to perform OTHELLO for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company.  Saunders, the general manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the operatic map,  Morelli is late, and when he arrives it is too late to rehearse with the company.  Through a hilarious set of mishaps, Il Stupendo is given a double dose of tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has consumed, and he passes out.  His pulse is so low Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead.  What to do?  Max is an aspiring singer and Saunders persuades him to get into Morelli’s Othello costume and try to fool the audience into thinking he is Tito. Max succeeds admirably, but Tito comes in and gets into his other costume.   Now TWO Othellos are running around in costume and two women are running round in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo, while the Bellhop continues to try to meet Il Stupendo.
