Ralph Kramden is a perpetually flustered but eternally optimistic New York City bus driver living with his wife, Alice, in a small Brooklyn apartment. Ralph's best friend is sanitation worker Ed Norton, who lives in the same building with wife Trixie.

Ralph gets asked to do a candy bar commercial, but he must first get rid of a toothache.

Ralph and Ed plan to attend a World Series game on the same day Alice's sister gets married.

Alice and Trixie rebel when Ralph and Ed make it clear that they are the bosses.

The Kramdens and the Nortons discover that television, instead of killing conversation, stimulates it.
