Plot
Brian (Zach Galligan) buys an engagement ring for Linda (Teri Hatcher), his girlfriend who is out of town. She returns early and catches him in bed with another woman, the latest in a series of infidelities. She dumps him. He forces his way into the house she shares with roommates Kim and Sharon, hoping to reconcile with Linda. He knocks himself out and the women tie him to a bed for several days, "Home Shopping Network" blaring. They dress him in a skirt, shave him with a rusty razor, feed him only squash, buy jewelry on his credit card, and nearly cost him his job by preventing him from going to an important interview. Linda ultimately releases him.
Brian remains smitten and returns to the house after a few days, kidnaps Linda, and brings her to his own house where he ties her to a chair. She is unpersuaded by his love and he releases her, but she later changes her mind and they reconcile with the agreement that she will be able to tie him up during future sexual escapades.
