C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) is a modest but ambitious employee at a Manhattan insurance firm. He is single and lives alone in a discreet apartment which he occasionally lends out to his bosses for their amorous liaisons.

He hopes that these favours will help him to climb the corporate ladder. But everything changes when he falls in love with a lift-attendant (Shirley MacLaine) who turns out to be the lover of one of the bosses who use his apartment (Fred MacMurray).
