Teresa, a young dental hygenist from Brooklyn in her twenties, is about to marry Joey, a traffic cop. A few weeks before her wedding, while eating lunch on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with her two girlfriends, Teresa decides on impulse to go inside - and is fascinated by a young man in The Trinker, a Dutch painting by Pieter De Hooch. Suddenly the painting comes to life! A tipsy young woman in the picture has fallen off her chair, gets picked up by the handsome young man, and is carried giggling out of the room. On her next visit to the Met, she is pleasantly surprised when the young man in the painting winks and invites her to step into the picture. She does so - and finds herself in a strange world. To the embarrassment of her family and friends, Teresa doesn’t turn up at the church on her wedding day …

A huge bath showroom. Brass fixtures along the walls, sink and showers, enameled toilets, jacuzzi tubs, steam showers, all polished and gleaming. Saleswomen and salesmen move uneasily amongst the customers. Hardly anyone can afford the prices. The sales people are energetic but it's hopeless. They haven't made a sale in weeks. The manager Bruce, about 35, oversees the bustle. He's charming, well built. supercilious - and desperate to boost business. Davida. late 20's, enters just before closing time. Bruce senses she is a buyer. Well dressed and confident. Not the average family woman on a tight budget. He moves in. Davida needs a tub and she needs it fast. But she wants to fill one of the baths with water and step in. Not possible. There are rules - hygiene regulations. You can demonstrate the jets in a working tub. You can try out a dry tub. But you can't get in a full bath tub! Health department forbids; insurance forbids. They talk. Davida isn't sure. This is a substantial investment. She needs a tub for two. If she can't try it out she will shop elsewhere. Bruce relents. It's after hours. For this beauty he will make an exception. But is the tub big enough for two? He demonstrates. After hours. After dark. A deal is made.

Once upon a time a teenager named Leroy did a bent-over old lady a favor. Leroy was a loner, not because he wanted to be, but because the other boys had things he did not have: like girlfriends. All Leroy had was pimples on his face. Naturally, the girls, even the homely ones, ignored Leroy. So, poor Leroy was lonely, but he was horny as hell. Anyway, the bent-over lady turns out to be a witch and and as a reward for helping her, she offers to grant Leroy a wish. Leroy says he has two wishes so dear to his heart he can't make a decision. The witch takes pity on him and agrees to grant him his two wishes, if he promises never to tell anyone or share his good fortune with anyone else. Leroy promises never to tell, whereupon the witch tells him to go to the fork in the road just outside of town at midnight and look behind the big tree. That night, Leroy does as instructed…… Lo and behold, behind the old oak tree, he finds a motorcycle! Leroy's heart leaps with joy at the sight of the powerful machine. He searches around for his second wish but he can't find it. Leroy switches on his new motorcycle. Vrooom vroom vroooom! It springs to life… and Leroy soon finds out that this is no ordinary bike! But a bike that can make all his dreams come true.
