Cy assigns Doris to write a story on computer dating, and while she likes the idea, she doesn't want to be the one assigned it solely because she's a woman to go undercover as an applicant. After her first date, Doris wants off the story in leading her date, Harvey Krantz, a lonely older widower, along with no intention of getting personally involved with him. In Cy not allowing Doris to quit the story, Doris gets involved in a potentially criminal matter while truly falling for her next "date".
