The 1988 comedy Big Business starts off in the 1940s in the small town of Jupiter Hollow, when two sets of identical twins are born in the same hospital on the same night. One is born to a poor local family, and the other to a rich family just passing through. The ditzy nurse on duty accidentally mixes the twins. Flash forward to the 1980s, when the mismatched sets of twins cross paths at the Plaza Hotel, and the rich sisters are involved in a business deal to shut down a factory in the poor rural town of Jupiter Hollow, where the poor sisters live.
