Marcia returns to her flat to find it has not been painted as she arranged. A part time painter who is filling in for an ill colleague is just beginning the work when the wife of the man with whom Marcia is having an affair arrives to tell all to Marcia's husband.

When Marcia learns that the painter/actor has slept with her rival, she demands the opportunity to show him what really good sex is.
