2 Male 4 Female
As Bill strongly disapproves of unmarried couples living together, Jim asks his girlfriend, Helen, to pose as his wife for the evening
This suggestion goes down like a lead balloon and Helen walks out on him, leaving Jim with no partner, no cook and - after ringing around all of his ex-girlfriends unsuccessfully - only one last option - his eccentric cleaning lady, Edna, who will do the job
For a fee, of course
Disaster reigns as Edna attempts to cook an elaborate dish while keeping her guests happy with "religious chat"
Then - at an extremely inoppourtune moment - Helen returns to play the role of his wife
And so does his young personal assistant, Terri!
A string of hilarious miscommunications unravel as Jim tries to save the situation and his job by trading lies and wives almost as quickly as Bill is trading shares
