- A love-struck landlord tries to convince a pretty tenant to dump her fiancé and give him a chance.
- Hogan owns and operates the Centaur Apartment complex. He rents the units to young women only at less than half their market value in order to spy on them lasciviously and seduce them. After Hogan's latest conquest, college professor Dr. Irene Wilson, moves out when their romance goes sour, Hogan is more than happy to rent that apartment to blonde college student Robin Austin, and even happier when he learns that she will have a slightly-taller brunette roommate. What Hogan doesn't initially know is that Robin is Irene's student and niece, and that Robin's roommate will be her boyfriend, fellow college student David Manning. Not wanting to mistake lust for love, Robin convinced a sexually-frustrated David, with whom she hasn't yet slept, to this platonic cohabitation arrangement just to see if they are truly compatible as people before they decide to get married. When Hogan finds out about David and the arrangement, he tries subversively to thwart any romance between Robin and David, all the while trying to get Robin for himself. Once Irene finds out about Robin and David's arrangement, she tries first to ensure that they stick to it and second that Hogan isn't trying any funny business with Robin, all in the name of protecting her niece. Irene, a professor of Education for Marriage, might be able to add some professional wisdom and firsthand knowledge of Hogan to keep the process moving.—Huggo
- College student Robin Austin decides that she and her boyfriend Dave Manning should share an apartment, platonically, to see if they are psychologically suited to each other. She learns that her Aunt Irene is moving out of her apartment so immediately swoops in to get the place. The lecherous owner-landlord, Hogan, immediately sets his eye on the innocent Robin and sets out to make her his next conquest. Hogan's first task is to make sure Dave doesn't get ahead of him and so gets him on an exercise regimen so as to thoroughly exhaust him. When Aunt Irene learns what's going on--she was one of Hogan's victims--she also learns that the Lothario had a long unbroken string of lovers living in that apartment. Dave plans his own counter-attack, however, leaving Robin in something of a daze. Aunt Irene comes to her rescue.—garykmcd
- A sexual predator who owns an apartment complex rents only to single young women so that he can peep at them between times when he's trying to get them into his red satin lair that's tricked out with wet bar, auto-mechanized sexy music, and a giant bed, a' la Rock Hudson in "Pillow Talk." But the joke's on the stalker, funny (creepy), Jack Lemmon, because he accidentally rents to a college student who wants to try out living with her fiancé for a trial run--chastely, of course. So it's high sexual tension three ways. In the end, virginal purity wins out and the young couple go off to be properly married, while the lecher landlord is landed by a previous tenant who thinks she loves him. (Every fun-time playboy deserves a good woman, it seems.) The good woman/previous tenant who had vacated the premises in an indignant huff when she realized he was a drooling Lothario came to the brink of de-spoilage, but all virtue remained intact in the end. And pre-feminism sensibility was given golden tribute as gender roles were merrily reaffirmed, ie the ladies do the women's work and the men the men's. Though Lemon has some funny pratfalls, Paul Lynde and Imogene Coca were this movie's only assets--too bad they didn't get more scene time.
