Plot summary
Greg Nolan shoots photographs for a newspaper and leads a carefree life until a beach encounter with Bernice. She answers to a fresh name whenever the mood takes her: Alice to Greg, Susie to the grocery delivery boy, Betty to the milkman. After her Great Dane, Albert, drives Greg into the water for insulting her following a kiss, she offers him a room at her beachfront house. Bernice then causes him to lose his job and his apartment, and she drugs him so that he sleeps for days. To repay her, Greg takes two full-time photography jobs at once, one at a magazine owned by Mike Lansdown, the other at a conservative advertising agency that Mr. Penlow co-owns. Both sit in the same building, so he shuttles between them and tries to keep each boss from noticing.
