Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at The Plaza Hotel. First, a suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted, and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before. (And was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today?) This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, seeks fresher fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little tryst, but she turns out to be more than the match he bargained for. In the final vignette, a mother and father fight about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where her guests await – or, as Mother yells, ”I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!”
