Eddie meets a potential new girlfriend, named Peggy Kellogg, who works for a dating service which Eddie decides to moonlight as a director of interview videos for the dating service to be close to Peggy. Eddie soon puts himself in front of the camera to try to pick up a potential girlfriend for himself to settle down with.
