Advertising salesman Philip Woode is the victim of a prank on a ''Candid Camera''-style television show and wins a dinner for two at a Manhattan restaurant. He takes with him Danielle Breton, a naive young French Canadians model and aspiring actress who was hired as part of the prank. At dinner, they are interrupted by Danielle's ex-husband Emil, but Philip has him thrown out by security. They arrive at Danielle's Staten Island apartment, but spot Emil waiting outside; Philip pretends to leave to lure him away, then returns through the back entrance and the two make love on the living room sofa.
