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.

Becoming annoyed at Kramer's invasions of privacy, Jerry takes away his spare key. Kramer, shaken, decides to leave for California to pursue an acting career.

When Jerry is booked to appear on "The Tonight Show," he takes George with him to Los Angeles to search for Kramer, who vanished in a huff months earlier.

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.
