Middle-class suburbanites Larry and Kitty grow bored with their lives and respective marriages. Although each always found the other's manner grating, they fall in love when thrown together--without their spouses--on vacation. On returning home they try to break things off, only to grow closer. A holiday together will finally settle whether they should end their marriages.

I was really worried at first but I’m really glad it ended the way that it did. The plot is so distraught and just made me feel so miserable. I love Lucille Ball so I pushed through and honestly I was very satisfied with how it ended
