Three young single women became roommates in a most unusual way; shy, trusting English teacher Tracy left left her fiancé when she found out he had been married twice before and that one of his ex-wives was his sexy business partner. From this she salvaged a fabulous Manhattan penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park that its owner Tony, her almost-husband's globetrotting friend, had given to them for a rent-free year as a wedding gift. But he must have forgotten that he also loaned the apartment to Georgy, a recently-widowed English princess and former showgirl who had moved to the States while her late husband's children fought with her attorney over his will. Since Georgy had no friends in New York, she was more than happy to share the huge apartment with Tracy. The third 'princess' was Tracy's longtime roommate and best friend Melissa, an outspoken, stereotypical Jewish American who sold cosmetics at a department store.
