Studio head Joe Mulholland (Walter Matthau) promises his dying producer and mentor, Saul Gritz (Vincent Gardenia), to adapt a popular sex manual into a film, despite his better judgment. Unable to figure out how to turn the nonfiction book into a narrative movie, Mulholland enlists the services of Herb Dorman (Charles Grodin), a screenwriter of popular romantic films with a bad marriage, and volatile director Sid Spokane (Bill Macy) to help him create a movie.
