在这部一仆二主剧情/戏曲片中,《一仆二主》由理查德·比恩（Richard Bean）改编自意大利即兴喜剧创始人、剧作家卡罗·哥尔多尼（Carlo Goldoni）创作于1743年的名著《一仆二主（Servant of Two Masters）》（意大利语：Il servitore di due padroni）的英文版本，故事背景设置在1960年代的英国布里顿，由英国国家剧院前艺术总监尼古拉斯·希特纳执导。詹姆斯·科登在里面饰演一个同时为两个雇主工作、又不敢让他们发现真相的贪食胖仆人。

But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who's been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers' Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
