Synopsis
John, a would-be author, is evicted by his girl friend and invited home by his old school friend Max, a successful haberdasher, on condition that he take over the domestic chores in exchange for his lodging. Though Max's wife, Eva, a fashion model, initially resents the intrusion, she finds that John's eccentric presence gives a welcome lift to her sterile marriage. Gradually, Eva becomes bored with her conventional husband and grows to resent the fun the two men share without her. Aware that he is causing problems in the household, John packs to leave, but Eva begs him to stay. Shortly thereafter, John brings home Hickan, a shrill typing instructor, so that he can have a woman of his own, and they begin to take over the apartment. Max and Eva decide that they must get rid of Hickan before John becomes too independent, and Max arranges for Eva to feign making love to John. Hickan returns home from a movie, sees Eva and John embracing, and promptly leaves, exactly as Max had planned. However, Eva resents Max's indifference and senses more warmth in John. Ignoring Eva's plea to send John packing, Max returns home a few nights later to discover them making love in earnest. Resignedly, he puts on John's old undershirt and retires into the guest room.
