After a lifetime of bachelorhood, retired handyman George Mertons is finally tying the knot. His roommate of the past 40 years, however, is none too pleased with the impending nuptials; the bride-to-be is Bernard's ex-wife, Margaret, a successful romance novelist with a home on Beacon Hill. Though the flames of matrimonial ex-passion have long since died for Bernard, he is nonetheless intent on fanning whatever controversy he can into a minor inferno in order to validate his worth to George as the latter's best friend. The friction only escalates when George and Bernard's rent-controlled apartment goes condo, now leaving Bernard with nowhere to hang his hat.
