Jesse newly divorced as well as broken off with his girlfriend, Ruth, whom his brother Astor is enamored with, now seeing his student, Bess, who discovers that being the youngest doesn't make her the least adult. Ruth, Bess, Jesse and Astor, who will end up with whom? Which is harder to find, true love or a fabulous rent-controlled pre-war on the West Side?
