Sometimes you have to cross the street to find true love.
For Walter, a young man endearingly known as "Putzel," life literally doesn't go beyond his neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Walter's dreams of taking over his family's smoked fish emporium are disrupted by the arrival of Sally, who starts a relationship with his about-to-retire and very-married uncle. In order to secure his future, Walter attempts to thwart the budding romance and falls for Sally too - throwing everyone's lives into hilarious chaos.
