Story: A suddenly-unemployed company executive suffers a nervous breakdown, and his supporting wife tries everything to console him and pick up the slack.

The story of Mel and Edna ( and ), a middle-class, middle-aged, middle-happy couple living in a Manhattan high rise apartment building. Mel loses his job, the apartment is robbed, Edna gets a job, Mel loses his mind, Edna loses her job . . . to say nothing of the more minor tribulations of nosy neighbors, helpful relatives, and exact bus fares. The couple suffers indignity after indignity (some self-inflicted), and when they seem on the verge of surrender, they thumb their noses defiantly and dig the trenches for battle.

Married couple Mel and Edna Edison are middle-aged, empty-nested, middle-class New Yorkers. Mel is slowly unraveling and he knows it. The company for whom he has worked for 22 years has hit difficult financial times, and he is only its latest casualty. With the exception of Edna herself, every other thing in his day-to-day grind seems to be eating at him, which is exacerbated by incidents concerning their Second Avenue apartment and the heat wave, combined with the buildup of garbage around them, especially right below their 14th-floor-apartment balcony. He is in a catch-22 situation where not being able to find a job fuels his depression, which he almost uses as an excuse for not working hard to find that replacement job. Despite being by his side, Edna cant help being negatively affected by Mels constant negativity about everything. As Edna decides to go back into the workforce after 22 years of being a homemaker and mother, Mel eventually suffers a nervous breakdown. Edna and Harry, Mels outwardly-successful older brother do whatever they can to help Mel both financially and emotionally, but Mel himself must figure out what he needs to do to get back on the road to mental well-being.
