Serge(aka John Joseph) is likely to go on failing to find somone to come home to every night, a lifelong companion that is a normal man.

The only relief to his isolation are Andy (camp valet-cum-dresser), Madame Gonzales(his close friend and confidant) and Mrs. Baty. Into this isolation trips William Vandamm - betrothed to Susie back-home-in-the-states but soon to be seduced by Serge. Will Bill be the normal man to come home to or will it be someone else?
