Howard, a middle-aged tailor, indulges in daydreams to escape his humdrum existence. Norma, his suspicious wife, believes he is fantasizing about Dorothy, a sexy widow friend, so she comes up with a scheme to have Dorothy passionately flirt with Howard to test his fidelity. But Norma's plan backfires when Howard retaliates by conniving with Dorothy to turn the trick around. Soon Norma is threatening divorce and conspiring with a widower in a romantic charade to make Howard jealous. When the mixed-up couples are spotted having intimate dinners for two by Howard and Norma's increasingly scandalized daughter and her straight-arrow boyfriend, it all leads to over-the-top assumptions and comedic accusations. Will the couples manage to sort themselves out? Will Howard and Norma ever get back to being the couple they used to be?
