Paying his respects at the funeral of an old acquaintance, Mel (Vic Tayback) is taken aback by the realization that he is virtually the only mourner in attendance. Worried that the same thing will happen when he himself cashes in his chips, Mel figures it's about time to change his ways. Thus, the "new, improved" Mel goes out of his way to be nice to everyone--and drives them all crazy in the process.
