A political candidate is accused of having an affair with Blanche, and admits on live television that the accusation is true. The trouble is, it isn't, or at least not according to Blanche, though her roommates don't believe her.

Stan's brother Ted is in town, and Blanche latches herself onto him. After their date, however, he is scared off by Blanche's aggressively sexual nature, and finds solace instead in Dorothy, causing a rift between the two of them. Meanwhile, Rose deals with a severe case of insomnia.

Rose's cousin Sven visits from Sweden, paying Rose a visit on his way to St. Olaf to meet his bride-to-be, having been set up in an arranged marriage. While he visits, however, a series of events leads him to fall instead for Blanche.
