Dale is a dental assistant who expects to marry his beloved fiancée; however, he is sexually harassed by his boss, Dr Julia Harris. The womaniser Kurt and his boss Jack Pellit are great friends and he will be assigned to be the manager of the family business where he works; however, Jack has a heart attack and dies and his cocaine-addicted son Bobby assumes control of the company — he and Kurt hate each other.
