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.

At his parents' insistence, Jerry is coached by personal trainer Izzy Mandelbaum (Lloyd Bridges) to lose weight.

George asks Jerry's date (Marlee Matlin) to read the lips of his ex-girlfriend at a party; Elaine has trouble communicating with a limo driver.

Jerry, promised a vehicle as payment for a performance, winds up getting a van instead of a car; Elaine meets a new man; Kramer has no need for mail.

Jerry has designs on his new date's collection of toys; Kramer discovers furniture with a noteworthy past.
