Glen Bob, an innocent country boy, comes to NYC to become a big Broadway star, but is thwarted by the realities, and monsters, of the theatrical business. He manifests several homicidal female multiple personalities to bump off the men blocking his rise on the ladder of success. Will Glen Bob find love, success and fame on the Great White Way, or will he become…The Butcher of Broadway?
