Taking Sides/A Friendly Little Game/Going by the Book

Gladys und Max sind seit 25 Jahren verheiratet. Sie führen einen Kleinkrieg miteinander. Ganz anders sieht es bei den frisch verheirateten Desmonds aus. Doch dann scheint die schlechte Stimmung auch auf sie abzufärben.

An older couple's problems affect the marriage of newlyweds. An elderly man who is riddled with debts, but is desperate to take his wife on a cruise to meet their grandchildren, decides to pay for the trip with a dodgy deck of cards and aims to take the crew for all the money they have. A young man who is very inexperienced with women relies on a self-help book on how to win them over. However, he and Doc Bricker butt heads by going after the same girl.
