Four girls share a flat together in London. Having nothing in common aside from their gender, they barely manage to co-exist.
Amanda manages to snag herself a flat in Chelsea but is unable to pay for it herself. She has no other choice but to look for flatmates.
Candice is cultivating her latest illness; Amanda is quoting liberally from her latest publication "Spare Cheeks"; Shelley has failed yet another audition; and Jennifer, well, she's just Jennifer.
Candice arrives home with her latest Latin lover, Julio, but just as they're about to get down to the nitty-gritty, they are aware that there is another in their company – the inevitable Jennifer.
It's Shelley's big day. Can her ambition to become the next Glenda Jackson finally be realised at her audition for RADA ? However, instead of asking her to do Shakespearean a Juliet speech, they want her to improvise... as a fried egg.
Amanda is miffed that Candice is not paying her way with the rent even though she keeps buying expensive clothes. Shelley suggests that Candice could be a prostitute so they all decide to follow her one day.
Annoyed at not being asked to help with the street festival, Amanda goes out into the streets of Chelsea to look for needy people. She pounces on two black boys and then phones the festival organiser to say she has found a reggae band.
Oh horror! Oh Calamity! Oh Jennifer! She who is lacking in almost everything, plumbs new depths when she takes Josephine, Lady Carlton's stuffed black dog, for a walk and promptly loses her in a shop. The girls plan various schemes, including a stuffed coypu, and giving Lady Carlton a message "from heaven" by a teddy bear, which is supposed to be Josephine, transformed into an angel.
