Мартин Таппер всячески пытается устроить личную жизнь, назначая свидания многим женщинам, но это у него не слишком хорошо получается. Излить все свои горести и радости Мартин может только своему лучшему другу, ведущему телешоу Эдди Чарльзу.
Так как всё свое детство Таппер провел перед телевизором и смотрел черно-белые фильмы, то кадры из них глубоко вошли к нему в подсознание. В связи с этим при любой ситуации у него в голове появляются эпизоды черно-белых фильмов.
