Plot
Ellen (Barbara Eden) and Carter (Peter Bonerz) used to be married. But now they're happily divorced. So why would anyone want to break up a perfect situation like that? Well, the truth is that Ellen isn't happy with the arrangement and she uses every trick in the book to get her ex-husband back. The results are complicated, confusing and downright hilarious in this comedy also starring Hal Linden and Marcia Rodd. Ellen can't stand the fact that her ex-husband is dating a woman with the body of a pin-up girl and the intelligence of a grapefruit. So she decides to somehow win him back. Ellen's best friend, Eve (Marcia Rodd), advises her that the only method that will work is to make Carter jealous. Her first choice of weapons turns out to be Tony (Hal Linden), a handsome man-about-town.
