As Richard's wife and son are away, he becomes increasingly restless and fantasizes about other women. His fantasies take form when he encounters his beautiful and vivacious neighbor, known simply as The Girl (played by Marilyn Monroe). The Girl's presence and flirtatious behavior lead to a series of comedic situations as Richard grapples with temptation and the fear of betraying his wife.
