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.

A series of mishaps occur when George's phone lines get crossed and a woman answers when anyone calls.

Jerry's purchase of a new sofa helps Elaine land a new romantic interest when she begins dating the man who delivered it (David James Elliott).

Elaine must substitute for her boss in a merger deal; a girlfriend's mom sees George eating out of the trash.

Jerry is forced to treat an obnoxious comic (Stephen Hytner) to dinner after accepting a designer suit.
