A Story of Unlikely Love

Felix Sherman, a meek book clerk and aspiring novelist, struggles to maintain peace and quiet in his walkup New York City apartment. When he reports to his landlord that his brash, uneducated neighbor Doris is working as a prostitute, she is suddenly evicted. She then confronts him about this immediately, in the middle of the night. Felix, who had not intended that she actually be evicted, reluctantly allows her to stay at his apartment on a temporary basis.

Clashing Personalities

Later that same night, Doris dares Felix to disrobe, to which she reacts with a laughing fit that gives her a furious case of the hiccups. She asks Felix to scare her so that she stop hiccuping. He obliges, dressing up in a skeleton Halloween costume and jumping at her suddenly. She instinctively acts in self-defense, and the noise of their scuffle causes the landlord (and several neighbors) to barge in and evict both.

Discovering Each Other

In the middle of the night, Felix and Doris relocate to the apartment of Felix’s friend and co-worker, Barney. The two very different personalities continue to clash throughout the night as Felix tries in vain to maintain his routine and to try to get some sleep. The TV-loving Doris becomes upset after Felix reads her an excerpt from his novel, which she vehemently dislikes, and the noise from their argument causes Barney and his girlfriend to leave.

Nevertheless, as Felix and Doris get to know each other better, discussing topics such as Doris’ various stage names, they grow to like each other and they make love. However, in the morning, their fighting resumes and Doris leaves in anger.

Facing Reality

Felix and Doris return to their separate lives and both struggle in their careers. Felix passes a theater showing an adult film starring Doris and decides to watch it out of curiosity. He becomes uncomfortable and leaves midway through the film. Now a week after Doris had left, one of Doris’ friends, Eleanor, goes to the bookstore where Felix works and mistakenly confronts Barney instead of him.

Eleanor then tells Felix that Doris is at a cafe, where Felix goes to meet her. They two walk around the city near Lincoln Center, now clearly drawn to each other and Felix is impressed by how Doris has been working on expanding her vocabulary. However, their night is interrupted when they have to run away from a group of violent youths.

Embracing Love

They then go to an upscale townhouse where Felix is staying, and discovers more details about Doris’ past that make him uncomfortable, while Doris discovers that Felix is actually engaged to be married. When Felix is feverish, Doris puts him in bed and tells him that she is planning to move to Los Angeles and that she has thought about the excerpt from his novel that he had read to her before and now really likes it. He kisses her and they make love again.

They then get stoned and continue to bond. Suddenly, Felix’s fiancée and her parents return and discover Felix and Doris both stoned in the bathtub.

A Happy Ending

Kicked out of the townhouse and no longer high, Doris and a frustrated Felix, carrying his typewriter, walk together in Central Park that morning. They start to argue and Felix cruelly ridicules Doris on top of Cedar Hill. She starts to cry and a regretful Felix kisses her hand before she smacks him. Felix admits to her that his actual name is Fred and he tosses his typewriter down the hill. Doris reveals that her full name is Doris Wilgus.

Without any pretensions between each other, they walk away together as a happy couple.
