Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Feeling that husband Steve (Mike Minor) is taking her for granted, Betty Jo (Linda Kaye Henning) seeks out advice from her sister Bobbie Jo (Lori Saunders) and her neighbor Lisa Douglas (Eva Gabor). As a result, Betty works overtime to make herself a vital part of her husband's life--and nearly ruins the marriage in the process. Ultimately, Steve realizes that he's been in the wrong, acknowledging this with a heartfelt rendition of the popular 1960s ballad "Dreams of an Everyday Housewife".
