Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying
a suite at the Plaza. First, a suburban couple takes the suite while their   house is being painted and finds it was their honeymoon suite. Next is the story of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to her marriage ceremony.
