Both couples have been saving, the only trouble is that, bus driver, Ralph is a dreamer, always getting sucked into get-rich-quick schemes, and he's lost all his savings. Does this mean that he and long-suffering wife Alice will lose their dream? Will sewage worker Ed and his wife go it alone? This is a touching and funny film.
