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.
While in Los Angeles, Jerry and George are picked up by the police; Kramer is a suspect in a series of serial murders.
Jerry is approached by network executives and asked to create a new television show.
Jerry tries to evade a vengeful writer; Kramer agrees to be a witness at a friend's trial; George woos an executive.
Jerry tries to explain to his visiting parents (Liz Sheridan, Barney Martin) the whereabouts of a gift they once gave him.
