When his wife is accosted by a boorish neighbor, Stern begins hatching a plot to exact revenge-a painstaking, procrastination-filled process with hilarious consequences.

His best-known works of stage and screen include the off-Broadway hit Steambath (1970) and the screenplays for Stir Crazy (1980) and Splash (1984), the latter of which received an Academy Award nomination.
