Armand's 20-year-old son Val, who is the product of Armand's drunken one-night stand with a woman named Katharine Archer, returns home to announce that he is engaged to be married to a young woman named Barbara Keeley.

To conceal the truth about the Goldmans, she has told her parents that Armand is heterosexual and married to a woman, named Coleman (to hide that they are Jewish) and is a cultural attaché to Greece.

Armand dislikes the idea of being forced into the closet, but agrees to play along, enlisting the help of friends and club employees to redecorate the apartment to more closely resemble a traditional household.
