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.

Jerry buys his parents (Barney Martin, Liz Sheridan) a Cadillac, which only complicates their lives; George rethinks his engagement.

George and Elaine have some explaining to do when they take Jerry's car for a ride.

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.
