Apu and Manjula, invite the Simpsons to their house for dinner. However, Apu and Manjula get in a fight, after Marge mentions to Manjula that Apu does not really need to be as much of a workaholic.

Apu decides to shower Manjula with many romantic surprises to regain her love. However, although many of Apu's surprises succeed in fixing his marriage, they ruin other people's relationships. The rest of Springfield's women become disenchanted from their envy towards all the attention Manjula is receiving, and they find their men to be nothing more than cheapskates.
