Agnes Schnippet is the company's highly-competent producer who thinks she's seen it all. From the company's head office in San Francisco, she is suddenly thrust into wild international productions with odd writers, bizarre crew members, equally bizarre clients and actors of questionable talent. Throughout the often unpredictable and always hilarious situations, Aggie struggles to remain professionally detached from the intrigue, lust, greed and egos that travel with her from San Francisco to Southern California, Canada and Europe. And in the end, just when she thinks life can't go on like this… it does!
