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.

George's date gets credit for a salad purchase; Newman once dumped Jerry's date; Kramer clashes with a former athlete.

Jerry convinces George to ask baseball player Danny Tartabull to appear on a public television pledge drive.

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).
