Every end has a beginning. After an unknown comedian named Jerry Lewis (Sean Hayes) delights audiences by cutting in on the act of singer Dean Martin (Jeremy Northam), both men realize that their team performance has success written all over it. With Dean playing the quick-witted straight man to the nutty antics of Jerry, they hit pay dirt, selling out nightclubs, making movies and appearing on The Colgate Comedy Hour. The personality differences prove divisive, and their partnership is torn apart. Also starring: Paula Cale, Sarah Manninen.
