The fiancée of a fireman reluctantly agrees to participate in a "ménage à trois" with another woman, a sexual fantasy of his. She agrees to the arrangement, but insists to turn the table on him. She suggests that he agree to reciprocate by having a one time relationship with another man. This ultimately puts the impending marriage of the two in jeopardy.[2]
