Tito is an architectural engineer who can't choose between his young sexy wife Elsie and his exotic secretary Susan. While the pregnancy of his wife will later force him to resume their love, Tito is initially pressured by Susan to leave Elsie for her. The bombshell is dropped on Tito when Elsie confides SHE will leave him for her cancer-stricken lover, a woman named Alice. Elsie's quiet mom finds it hard to accept Elsie's newly-confessed lesbianism, as does the studly Tito, reluctant to share custody of his child with Alice. Meanwhile indignant Susan walks out, observing astutely that Tito loves Elsie more than her. All these triangulations, recriminations and resolutions are witnessed by tomboy Barok, Alice's new lover and caretaker. Of course it pains her that Alice loves Elsie more and that with Elsie's pregnancy, Alice and Elsie will get closer than ever.
