Sex comedy takes a look at contemporary dating mores and hypothesizes that the new dating location may be the dog walk in the park. A mild-mannered man loses his present girlfriend to another man.

He even lost his Collie, Mogley, when his girlfriend moved out. In a funny subplot, the Collie is going to a doggie psychiatrist, who determines the dog is being traumatized by his mistress' sexual antics. Jeri and Jeff are best friends whose constant smooching simply makes the leads life less comfortable.
