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 hires a dowdy assistant (Vicki Lewis) whose competence and productivity prove to be a turn-on.

Jerry is challenged to a race by a former high-school classmate; Kramer fights for his rights as a store Santa.

George discovers Kramer's first name while trying to determine whether his girlfriend has an eating disorder.

A friend (Jon Lovitz) fakes illness to get Jerry's sympathy; Kramer obstructs justice.
