Jim and Mary are busy New Yorkers slaving away in their mundane jobs. While their friends go out and have fun, they feel left out and fret away their nights at home alone. All of that changes on a Fourth of July weekend at Coney Island. Jim and Mary meet and fall in love among the carnival revelry. They get separated when a roller coaster ride goes awry and spend a couple of frantic hours searching for each other. Don't worry though, it has a happy ending. Predictable but never boring, there are a couple of talking scenes and occasional flourishes of color, though both come off somewhat gimmicky and are not essential to the plot.
