Mel loses his job, the apartment is robbed, Edna gets a job, Mel loses his mind, Edna loses her job...to say nothing of the more minor tribulations of nosy neighbors, helpful relatives, and exact bus fares. The couple suffers indignity after indignity (some self-inflicted), and when they seem on the verge of surrender, they thumb their noses defiantly and dig the trenches for battle...
