Two fiercely dedicated men endure near-starvation in order to put out a protest magazine in San Francisco. An All-American girl moves into another apartment on the same floor. Her first appearance paying a good-neighbour visit to the combination home and office of the two publishers is charming, and the immobile reaction is funny as can be. Thereafter love is a determined madness, with the humour of it heightened by her frantic rejection of one of the men. Meanwhile, his partner is fielding telephone calls from the irate printer, who wants to collect the money due him, and distracting the landlady from thoughts of back-rent with motorcycle rides and surfing expeditions. And while she is convinced that they are editing a dangerously subversive magazine, our heroine soon finds that her real source of annoyance is that the wrong man is pressing his attentions on her. Happily this situation is reversed in time, as love and politics blend delightfully in a bubbling series of funny happenings, set forth with the masterly skill and inventiveness which have become the hallmarks of the Neil Simon comic style.
