Despite their huge differences and hostility, it is pushed aside when they both fall in love with the same man of their dreams- nice and gentle schoolteacher Michael Santers. The two doesn't know they are dating the same man but it is clearly shown that love is the air and there is a good chance they would not stand in each others way.
But love ends abruptly when the sad news of Santers dies in a tragic bomb explosion in a flower shop. Ames and Bronsinsky meets again but this time at the morgue to identify the body.

Fortunately for them, it is not that of Santers which is based on the size of his private part. Setting their differences on the side once again, they go on a search to find Santers only to find themselves overtaken by the CIA and Russian spies. The chase leads them to New Mexico where the two reunite with their lover Santers; but he doesn't give them a happy greeting. Instead he greets them with a gun and tries to shoot them. Michael reveals himself as a agent for the CIA and the Russian spies- whch he is already in trouble with the Russian for stealing the deadly florotoxin, their money and taking it all back to the CIA. Both women is in the middle of a mess and a top secret they will find hard to get out of thanks to Michael.
