The story

Larry and Lynn Tyne return home to find their daughter Jeannie absent. (Viewers know she is attending an audition, clips from which, with future star performers like Carly Simon and Kathy Bates, recur throughout the film.) The Tynes ring the Divitos, with whose daughter Jeannie was supposed to be, but she says she doesn't know anything. They enlist their friends Tony and Margot for support; the men are unwillingly pushed out to search the neighborhood bars while the women stay by the phone and gossip about Margot's sex life.
