 Can a risk-averse insurance salesman on the rebound from his bride s infidelity (during their honeymoon) find happiness with a waitress he knew in junior high who s averse to commitment? Reuben is a sweet klutz who s ready to settle down but sees in her a chance to recover from disappointment and have some fun; Polly is a sweet itinerant, not ready to settle down but sees a chance to spend time with a nice guy who likes her. What will he do when his bride comes crawling back? What will Polly do, when he runs the numbers and thinks she s a good risk? Sub-plots involve his self-centered pal, who s a has-been actor, and an assignment to assess the insurability of a balls-out Aussie.
