"Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta fills her days by reading the personals and following an ongoing romance between 'Jim' and 'Susan,' mysterious drifters who appear to lead the kind of free-spirited life she can only dream about. And dream she does, until the day she actually shows up at the couple's pre-arranged rendezvous in New York City ... and after a bump on the head, a bout of amnesia turns her into Susan."--Container.
