SYNOPSIS:
Our reluctant hero, Jean Rubin, is back for another round of dealing
with with problems on every front. Married to absent-minded Maury, a
physician fighting the managed care mess, their lives explode when
their son brings home his pregnant girlfriend, Rosa, who disrupts
the routine of the household.
Jean's professional life boils when she fails a student whose mother
is a right-wing legislator with immense popular support. She attacks
Jean and threatens to wreak havoc on the college. Jean's arrogant,
Anglophile department head, insists she change the grade. With her
job in jeopardy and the Dean applying pressure, Jean takes on a
fight for academic freedom.
To complicate matters, Jean's friends, April, a beautiful busybody,
and Glee, an erotic artist addicted to plastic surgery, introduce the Rubins
to a new couple who have their sites set on the pocketbooks of
Scottsdale's finest.
The three plots create hilarious and bizarre levels of stress as
they come to a climax when the scam artists make their move during
Passover as Rosa goes into labor. In the end Jean makes peace with
her daughter-in-law and triumphs in her defense of academic freedom
while Maury's distraction provides a twist that saves them from
financial ruin when the scam artists disappear. |
