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.
Kramer's scheme to sell vintage raincoats backfires; George tries to dump his "little brother"; Jerry and his girlfriend go to a movie to be alone.
Elaine realizes that the manufacturer of her birth control device has gone out of business and its product is in limited supply.
Elaine tries to convert a gay acquaintance (Robert Mailhouse) to heterosexuality; George and his date have secrets.
George's plans for a summer getaway are foiled; Elaine's well-meaning criticism of a co-worker is not well-received.
