 Lonely Joe Higgins spends his free time sitting on the couch wondering what life would be like if the girl of his dreams finally realized he existed. He just can t quite seem to find a girlfriend, although he s searching desperately for love. But he thinks he s found the answer when he helps the lovely Veronica into the apartment next door. Joe launches into a hearty campaign to woo his new neighbor by sending Veronica little gifts - a bouquet of flowers here, a box of chocolates there. Veronica responds with equal vigor to Joe s advances - or so Joe thinks.
