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 intellect benefits when his girlfriend's illness requires their abstinence; Elaine experiences the opposite effect; Jerry returns to his junior high school for career day.

George finds his perfect woman (Andrea Bendewald); Kramer names his new pet after Jerry; Elaine dates a bald man.

Jerry joins a tennis club where the pro is a lousy player; George is too late in concocting a witty comeback to an insult.

George and Jerry are suspected of roughing up Bette Midler in a softball game, giving Jerry's girlfriend, Bette's understudy, a chance to take the stage.
