Time: Early 1970s
Place: Los Angeles
Lack of funds is keeping mild-mannered,
chaste couple, Mary & Paul Bland (she, a tall,
ravishing, curvaceous nutritionist, he, a portly,
bald, fastidious wine connoisseur) from their dream
of owning and operating an upscale restaurant out
in the country.
Unhappily, they live in an L.A. apartment building
teeming with swingers. When one of these amorous
neighbors accosts Mary, Paul defends her honor by
clocking the pervert over the head with a skillet
and killing him.
My God, what will they do?! They should call the
police, right? After all it was self-defense.
Wait!
Sensing a golden opportunity, Mary & Paul come
up with a brainy plan: they’ll advertise themselves
as an S & M duo, then (with the skillet)
bop over the head whoever shows up for their
services then take their money.
Within a matter of days, Mary & Paul are earning
cold hard cash to finance their dream while ridding
the world of "sleazy swingers."
When Raoul, the lascivious Latin
superintendent of their building, stumbles onto
the Bland’s
profitable operation, he wants a piece of the
action. He also wants a piece of Mary.
Partly due to Mary’s ambivalence
and much due to the fact that Raoul threatens to
go to the police, Mary and an extremely reluctant
Paul, allow Raoul to share in their profits.
Eventually, Mary can no longer resist Raoul's seductive
charms and the first sexual encounter of her life
begins. She now faces her greatest dilemma ever.
Raoul becomes obsessed with her and threatens to
get rid of Paul.
What will Mary do? In spite of her knowing better,
the torrid affair continues.
Paul, realizing what’s happening,
buys a toupee.
Time marches on until Mary & Paul
finally save enough to purchase their dream.
The Mary/Raoul/Paul triangle is coming to a head.
What WILL Mary DO?
When James, the real estate broker,
arrives at the Bland’s for dinner (and to close the deal on
the restaurant), he’s served what he’s
told is a rare Mexican dish which he finds to be
very tasty indeed. He compliments Mary’s culinary
expertise. She responds with, “Yes, it’s
amazing what you can do with a cheap piece of
meat if you know how to treat it.”
