Bud Baxter is a minor clerk in a huge New York insurance company, until he discovers a quick way to climb the corporate ladder. He lends out his apartment to the executives as a place to take their mistresses. Although he often has to deal with the aftermath of their visits, one night he's left with a major problem to solve.

Bud Baxter sacrifices his dignity to climb the corporate ladder, turning his lonely flat into a revolving door for his bosses' illicit affairs. This sharp look at mid-century loneliness balances cynical office politics with a surprisingly tender heart.
