Synopsis

"The Girls in the Office" are four young women working in the office of the new Nayfak's department store in Houston where the action centers around the quartet as they search for professional success and future husbands while balancing their jobs with their love lives:

  • Rita Massaro (Susan Saint James) is an ambitious woman hardened by her past who is determined to have a better, more prosperous life and willing to do anything she thinks will help her get it; her vicious and unscrupulous manipulations of events and co-workers eventually backfire.
  • Lee Rawlins (Barbara Eden) is a dedicated office manager who reconciles strife between employees and supervisors; she is a career woman and a long-time employee of Nayfak's old department store whose conservative attitude has kept her from fulfilling her life.
  • Karen Heineman (Robyn Douglass) is a secretary and Tracy Beaumont (Penny Peyser) is the office coffee girl; they are both Rita's co-workers and roommates who, despite their youth and inexperience, soon learn to stand up for their rights.

    • In addition, Beau Galloway (Joe Penny) is head of the construction crew at Nayfak's who falls in love with Lee; Mike Holden (Tony Roberts) and Bill Pearson (Jonathan Goldsmith) are the two right-hand men to Mr. Nayfak (David Wayne) jockeying for top position.
