In the bustling heart of New York, two acclaimed theater producers find themselves in a creative crisis that threatens to sink their new play. In a last-ditch effort to revive their careers, they decide to seek inspiration from an unusual concept: incorporating zombies into their show. To bring their peculiar idea to life, they embark on a mission to find the most authentic undead.
Their search leads them to a mysterious Caribbean island, where they encounter a voodoo cult and its chilling rituals. Amidst incantations and rites, the producers discover that they have summoned a group of zombies that, instead of being terrifying, are comically clumsy and somewhat charming. As they try to bring the zombies back to Broadway, countless absurd and amusing situations arise, testing their wit and sense of showmanship.
However, what begins as a ludicrous plan soon turns into an adventure filled with entanglements, unexpected romance, and a handful of musical numbers that capture the audience's attention. With the lights of Broadway shining brightly, the producers are forced to decide whether their zombies will become the next big sensation or if their dream of success will crumble in a sea of laughter. At its core, the film offers a whimsical critique of creativity and how much we are willing to risk in pursuit of our passions.
