A wealthy Beverly Hills, Calif., resident who has just become a widow, Clare Lipkin (Jacqueline Bisset) temporarily takes on her friend Lisabeth (Mary Woronov) as a house guest. As the two women deal with their upper-class woes, Clare's driver, Frank (Ray Sharkey), and Lisabeth's servant, Juan (Robert Beltran), make a wager to see who can be the first to seduce the other's boss. As the competition gears up, it leads to surprising romantic entanglements and plenty of satirical scenarios.
