Plot summary
Sir William Rutland, a British businessman, reaches Tokyo two days before the 1964 Summer Olympics open and discovers that the city has nowhere to put him. At the British Embassy, where he goes looking for help, he notices an advertisement for a roommate and calls at the home of Christine Easton, who had intended to take in a woman and tells him that a male lodger would be improper. She relents and he moves in. Rutland then offers part of the space to Steve Davis, an American competitor at the Games, without asking her first. Christine dislikes the arrangement, yet the money he paid is already gone. Rutland turns matchmaker for the two young people, who have little in common, though Christine is engaged to Julius D. Haversack, a British diplomat. Davis keeps avoiding questions about his sport.
