Karen and her roommate Vivian go on a double-date with Gil and Joe. Karen is attracted to Gil rather than the “mousey” Joe, even though Vivian thinks she loves Gil. While Vivian is away, Karen dates Gil but he’s not serious about her. Karen leaves so she doesn’t have to confess to Vivian. Karen bumps into Gil with yet another woman and realises he wasn’t worth her trouble. She makes up with Vivian and is reunited with Joe, who really cares for her.
