This satirical soap opera introduces the Campbells and the Tates: two suburban families of unequal prosperity but equal lunacy and a similar zest for the foibles which make us all human.

In order to leave the mob, Danny is ordered to kill his father's killer; Chester is blackmailed by his secretary; and the identity of Burt's long lost son is a shock in more ways than one.

Jessica fails to confess her infidelity; Mary fails to terminate Burt's impotence; and Danny learns the identity of the man he must terminate.

Jessica resolves to end her affair with Peter; Claire ends Chester's affair with Pigeon; and Danny tries to end Burt's life.

Jodie tells his family about his planned sex-change operation; Burt and Mary tell a psychiatrist about their problem; Corrine tells Father Tim she loves him; and Jessica can't tell Corinne anything.
