   The Story  

Based on the film The Apartment by Billy Wilder. Chuck Baxter lends his apartment to businessmen having affairs in an effort to advance himself in the business world. One of them, J.D. Sheldrake, happens to be seeing Fran Kubelik, with whom Chuck is in love. This complicates things greatly for him. Ultimately, Fran reciprocates his love after she discovers how he feels when he saves her from a suicide attempt after the conflicted J.D. leaves her to return to his wife.
