An innocent "bunch-up" in Larry's trousers gives rise to a misunderstanding with Cheryl's friend Nancy at the movies - where Larry also offends the new girlfriend of pal Richard Lewis.

Larry and Cheryl's fun-filled double date with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen ends badly at the bowling alley when Larry discovers that someone has taken off with his shoes.

By not picking up a golf ball that drops out of a bucket carried by a man in a tacky western hat, Larry sets off a bizarre chain of events in which he's forced to attend a party at the home of a porno businessman named Gil, getting lost with Cheryl along the way.

Cheryl and Larry get into a fight after she returns from a trip and he's too distracted by a game on TV to greet her properly. To make peace, Larry decides to buy her a bracelet at a jewellery store, but isn't allowed in because of his shabby clothes.

Larry ends up missing a meeting with a major actress. At home, Larry and Cheryl are visited by their interior decorator, who has the movie star's phone number but won't give it to Larry - even though the actress called and left her number, which Larry couldn't decipher.

Hoping to bury an unsightly telephone wire dangling over their yard, Larry and Cheryl befriend neighbours who must approve the burial. The husband is an incompetent lawyer but a big Seinfeld fan, so Larry arranges to have Julia Louis-Dreyfuss come for a visit.
