Plot summary

Arthur Curtis is a businessman. One day, he finds his phone no longer works, and is suddenly faced with the fact that his office was actually a set on a soundstage. He is told that "Arthur Curtis" is merely a role he was playing, and that his real name is Jerry Raigan, a declining movie star. He tries to find Arthur Curtis's house, but cannot find it; Raigan's agent tells him that the show with Arthur Curtis in it is being canceled. Raigan/Curtis rushes back to the set, and demands not to be left in the uncaring world of Raigan's. Raigan's agent shows up to find Curtis/Raigan to have vanished.
