Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Bachelorette Sally (Rose Marie) is both flattered and confused when she starts receiving such gifts as a rose that smells of pastrami from a secret admirer. It turns out that Sally is being wooed by Bert Monker (Sid Melton), a shy bachelor. Can it be that Sally has finally found the "fella" of her dreams -- or is it possible that simply being two lonely people is not a firm foundation for matrimony? Trivia note: future Mary Tyler Moore co-star Gavin MacLeod was originally cast as Bert Monker (and billed as such in the TV Guide listings) but was forced by previous commitments to pull out at the last minute.
