Plot:
Working in different offices in the same commercial high-rise building, twenty-one year old Harold and eighteen year old Mildred more often think about being together than they do about their work. They being close to each other on a day-to-day basis is threatened when her boss, osteopathic specialist Dr. Frank Gary, says she will have to find another position due to a lack of patients. To save his romance, Harold goes on a quest to drum up patients for the doctor on the street below their building by any means possible. Harold's efforts have some unintended consequences which may threaten his relationship with Mildred (or so he mistakenly believes), which lead him to other drastic actions.
