Synopsis

Pediatrician Jane Bowers (Barbara Eden) is a women's lib advocate who meets Officer Jerry Frazer (David Hartman) when they both show up to view an apartment in San Francisco. They immediately butt heads as her militant demand for equal treatment conflicts with his traditional "ladies first" attitude. Due to the shortage of affordable housing and a misunderstanding with the landlord, they agree to pose as a married couple to share the apartment since their work schedules don't overlap, an arrangement she openly shares with Wyatt, her understanding, liberal lawyer fiance and Mother's boy, but with not her father. Jerry keeps the secret from his girlfriend, Kitty, a Bunny at the Playboy Club.

Fellow doctor and ultra-militant women's libber Debby organizes a disruptive swimsuit protest at the club, to which the police respond, including Jerry. He sees a bikini-clad Jane participating at the protest and sends her home in a taxicab instead of arresting her, infuriating her. An upset Jane calls her father to talk, which makes him concerned enough to drive into town. Prostitute and aspiring porn actress Lilah asks Jerry to arrest her so she has someplace to sleep. Kindhearted Jerry lets her stay in the apartment overnight while he's at work, but finds a note from Jane that she will be leaving because of his "sexual bigotry." Jane's father arrives and is let in by the landlord. He runs into Lilah and assumes she's Jane's roommate. The truth comes out when Jerry rushes home after finding out Jane has left work early. Kitty arrives and recognizes Jane from the protest. Wyatt and Debby also arrive. Jerry professes his love for Jane, who runs out in confusion as Kitty angrily disavows Jerry and asks to join Debby's organization, WAM (Women Against Men). Wyatt's masochistic desire to be dominated by women is confirmed as he finds Debby's pushiness attractive. Jerry chases after Jane and catches her in the middle of the intersection, where they embrace and kiss while causing traffic to back up.
