Your boss sends you to Paris for work. You scheme for a fling. Fate sends Rita.
Pietro Rossini is a strapping young man that unfortunately spends most of his time at work chasing after two pretty young secretaries who are only too happy to return his advances. Tired of this endless chase and work waste, his boss sends him on an errand to Paris hoping this will help productivity around the office. Pietro quickly hits up his friend for a woman he can fool around with while he's in Paris, but Rita, the woman he meets, ends up being an large, boorish, unsightly woman. Once he arrives at his hotel, Pietro meets the young and lovely Nancy and attempts to romance her as best he can, but no matter where he goes, Rita is not far behind.
