Plot
Because he does not
want to lose feminist Suzanne Ercoll, lawyer Foxcroft Grey unhappily
accepts her proposal that they marry but live together only from
Saturday until Monday, leaving each free to live as he pleases the
rest of the week, no questions asked. On their first Monday morning
together, after Suzanne leaves Foxcroft's apartment, Foxcroft helps
his upstairs neighbor Charlie Hamilton, who after an all-night party
dared Dot Harrington to stay and cook breakfast, to get Dot out of
the building without being seen. Suzanne returns shortly after and
sees Dot coming out of Foxcroft's bedroom. When Foxcroft says
nothing, Suzanne tries to make him jealous by arranging for him to
find her in a playwright's bungalow, but Foxcroft sees through her
scheme and remains unmoved. After a feminist delegation presents
Suzanne with an award, Foxcroft finds her in tears wanting to end the
arrangement, and they begin to live conventionally.
