His Saturdays become secret rendezvous in Montreal, but Greta's keen intuition is not fooled. Hoping to save their marriage, she convinces Larry to relocate to sunny California, where for a brief six months, he manages to resist temptation. However, the allure of the forbidden proves too potent for Larry, drawing him into a dangerous liaison with his co-worker, Verna Carlson.
