Joe Clay (Lemmon), a San Francisco public relations executive and "social drinker", [[BoyMeetsGirl meets Kirsten Arnesen]] (Remick), his boss's secretary.

* HitlerCam: Combined with a POV shot. Joe has attempted to steal a bottle of liquor, but he stumbles and falls down the landing. As he squirms in the dirt the store owner trots up and takes the bottle out of his hand.
