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.

Learning of Jodie's suicide attempt, the Campbells rush to his hospital bedside. Corinne and Jessica confront their men about their respective infidelities.

Jodie leaves the hospital and prepares for his first date with a woman; Jessica and Corinne are furious with Peter for cheating on Corinne; and Peter is in for a surprise in his bath.
