After being introduced to her by his friend, Ophelia Frump, Gomez learns that she is madly in love with him and is determined to make him feel the same way. Despite his attempts to gently let her down, she persists in her pursuit of him, leading to a number of comical situations as Gomez tries to extricate himself from her advances.
