An obscure Eastern cult that practices human sacrifice pursues Ringo after he unknowingly puts on a ceremonial ring (that, of course, won't come off).

Harriet Blossom is married to Robert Blossom, a businessman who'd rather spend the night at his bra factory than at home with her.

When her new beau shows no desire to leave, the pair begin a years-long love affair right under Robert's nose.
