The plot centers around Teddy (Wilder), a HappilyMarried advertising executive in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco who, while leaving work one day, sees Charlotte ([=LeBrock=]), a beautiful model in a red dress, walk over an air vent, causing her skirt to blow up before she puts it back down. She starts walking away, then changes her mind and walks back to the air vent and dances on it as the wind blows up her skirt. Teddy spends the bulk of the movie pursuing her, even attempting to learn how to ride a horse, all while keeping his wife, Didi (Judith Ivey), in the dark.
