Advertising executive Tom Bridges offers a job to his army buddy Mike Meyers, whose family is on a train from Pittsburgh to suburban New York, before Tom’s boss invokes the firm’s policy of not hiring Jews. Meanwhile, Tom and wife Ellen, who have thus far accepted each other’s infidelities, are headed for divorce.
