Nancy, a.k.a. "Dr. Love", is a radio talk show host unskilled at practicing what she preaches. She eventually meets Mickey, a romeo with women whose wildly varied experiences and stories make people assume him to be a compulsive liar.
Mickey also gets to know Eve, who is a former prostitute who now owns a bar bearing her name.
