When his wife and son leave on a vacation for, a book publisher, married for seven years, has 
all of Manhattan to himself. When a gorgeous model moves into his building, his instant attraction 
to her yields in his mind a slew of fantasies and temptations.

==========

Like many other Manhattan husbands, Richard Sherman sends his wife and son to the country for the 
summer, while he stays behind to toil. Though reveling in temporary bachelor freedom of lifestyle, 
he's resolved not to carouse and philander like some others. But his overactive, over-vivid 
imagination goes into overdrive when a delightfully unconventional, voluptuous blonde moves in 
upstairs.

==========

In summertime in Manhattan, the plain and average Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell) sends his wife and 
son for vacation in the country. Sherman is the key man of a publishing firm, Brady & Company, which 
publishes cheap pocket books. The faithful Sherman has a routine life with his family and dreams on 
being successful with women. When a beautiful and sexy blonde lodges the upstairs apartment of his 
small building, Sherman first opens the front door for her and then he invites her to have a drink 
with him after the fall of her tomato vase on his chair. Along the days, he spends some time with 
the girl and feels tempted by her, but later he misses his family and travels to meet them.

==========

A professional book reader for a publishing company must endure the dog days of a New York summer 
alone while his wife and son find themselves on a oceanside resort without a paddle. To pass the 
lonely hours, the overly-imaginative book reader fantasizes about a young model who is lodging 
temporarily in the apartment upstairs.
