When Mel's wife Edna takes a job to tide them over, she too is sacked. Adding to the mayhem are the paper-thin walls of his apartment, giving him a constant earful of his neighbors' private lives. Just when it seems that things can't get any worse...or can they?…Mel has a nervous breakdown. And it's the best thing that ever happened to him.
