The premise

Here’s the bit.

Judy and Mike arrange a restaurant date for their friends Wanda and Luther. Wanda expects a glamorous actor, but recoils when she meets the man whose acting career is mostly heard rather than seen. Luther is immediately smitten and answers her insults with more affection. Their waiter’s alarm only adds to the commotion, and the friends who arranged the introduction eventually slip away. Left alone with her persistent admirer, Wanda briefly responds to his declaration of love before escaping and leaving a shoe behind.
