Self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard has three fiancees - each airline hostesses with frequent 'layovers'. There's American Gloria, German Gretchen and Italian Gabriella. He keeps "one up, one down and one pending" in exquisite, indulgent "perpetual motion" until speedier jets and unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and his apartment, at the same time.
