Four single friends -- comic Jerry Seinfeld, bungling George Costanza, frustrated working gal Elaine Benes and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer -- deal with the absurdities of everyday life in New York City.

Jerry and George must think of an idea for a TV series before meeting with network bigwigs.

Jerry tries to evade a vengeful writer; Kramer agrees to be a witness at a friend's trial; George woos an executive.

George is forced to confront his cowardliness after he runs from a kitchen fire; Kramer dates one of Elaine's co-workers.

Jerry challenges George, Kramer and Elaine to a contest of self-denial; Elaine looks forward to a special date.
