Two girls, Carla and Lou, are standing in front of a building in SoHo, impatiently awaiting their fiancés, who are returning from a trip to Los Angeles. Carla is beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent and discreet; Lou, on the other hand, is vivacious, meddling, extroverted and unconventional. As they chat, the two women discover that they are waiting for the same person, the actor Blake Allen, who has been going out with both women for months without their suspecting anything. They decide to break into his apartment and for hours they confront each other, trading information and insults. In the end Blake comes home and has to face an embarrassing situation.
