[edit] Plot

Christopher Pride (Jerry Lewis) wants to marry his girlfriend, Dr. Elizabeth Accord (Janet Leigh). However, she is too involved with her patients and she doesn't think that she would be able to leave them to go on a honeymoon. Pride decides to solve her patient's problems after finding out that most of them are merely despondent after having relationships go bad. Therefore, he decides to "date" these women, without Accord's knowledge, and give them back their self-esteem so that they will be less dependent on their doctor.

The film comes to a climax when all the women, including the psychiatrist, assemble at a party with Pride present. He quickly switches from one character to the next depending on which woman is present.
