Hal Larson doggedly tries to score with every gorgeous woman he sees, though he's no oil painting himself. But after undergoing impromptu hypnosis by a self-help guru, Hal is only able to see the inner beauty of women. Enter the kindly but obese Rosemary; and Hal, envisioning her sweet nature as physical loveliness, is smitten. But what will happen when the spell is broken?
