Emil, 50 and downsized out of his job, begins wearing cargo shorts and dreaming of growing fruit in Costa Rica. He hires Paul for advice, using a ratty dollar bill, but leaving his datebook (and ticket) in Paul's office. Emil’s wife Annie doesn’t understand why Emil is so distracted, and – though she’s not really that kind of gal – she gets her courage up and goes into a lingerie store for an item or two to get Emil’s attention. The ratty dollar bill, Emil’s datebook, and the bag of lingerie are lost and found several times. At the end of this fast-paced comedy, there are two happy couples and a rake wearing a nightgown.
