Buck Huckster decides to produce the famous Shakespearean play ""Romeo & Juliet"". Troy is chosen to play Romeo, but a girl is needed to play Juliet.
Both Nikki and Bianca audition for the role of Juliet, but Nikki becomes disappointed during rehearsals because Troy only has eyes for Lark. His acting unprofessionalism causes Nikki to quit. Meanwhile, Bianca accidentally breaks her leg after another scheme of hers backfires. When both potential Juliets are out of the picture, Troy gets his wish and Lark steps up to play the part.
