DeLuise as Davis
In these times of enlightened sexual politics, Ted Davis is a scoring machine. He's got the rap, the charm and his little black book weighs several pounds.

Ted has become a guru to his buddies who can only aspire in awe to his greatness. This is a man's man, a ladies man, a super-hero... He's Ted Davis: "BachelorMan."

Ted & Donna

Ted has got it made. He's young, single and works as an executive at an all-sports cable network. He majors in women. Lots of women.

At work, at the sushi bar, at the nightclub and the gym he hones his pick-up and dating techniques, all the while providing "bachelor tips" to wanna-be Romeos everywhere.

...But there's one thing Ted didn't count on meeting: His match.

Bachelor Tip #31: Spray Polish over the Door

Ted answers the door intercom and buzzes her in. He springs into action, moving to a small picture hanging in the entry way. He slides it away to reveal three cans of furniture cleaner in a cubby hole in the wall.

TED: Bachelor Tip #31: When you see her coming, spray some polish over the door. When she comes in she'll think you spent the whole day dusting.

He sprays the door, putting the can back in its hiding place as the doorbell RINGS. He opens the door, gesturing her inside. She enters, sniffing the air.

SHERRY: Have you been cleaning? For me?

When the woman of his dreams, "Heather," moves in next door, Ted's ordeal begins. She's beautiful, long-legged, athletic and LOUD. Her constant groans and howls of amorous pleasure turn Ted's domain of conquest and libidinous triumph into a nightmare world of BachelorMan-Interruptus. During her frequent love-making sessions, Heather makes more noise than Monica Seles at match point. She's a maestro, a champion, a sex-machine like no other. Ted must have her…

So the hunt begins as Ted delivers a first round of come-ons and invitations for his object of desire to become entangled, but nothing works. After consulting the experts at his job, the campaign continues with flowers, billboards and a marching band. Ted even resorts to getting advice from his mom, who says; "God you're hornier than Woody Allen at a family reunion - just like your old lady!"… But none of the classic lines, scams or gifts will sway 'Bachelorette Woman' to have anything to with him.

Ted & Donna

When all seems hopeless, Ted gets some guidance from his good friend Meg that turns the situation around: "Don't scam on her, listen to her, be SINCERE." Of course!

Ted runs next door to attest his true feelings for the only woman he could ever love - and sure enough - it works! They fall passionately into each other's arms and in the throws of love, Ted proclaims to the camera: "Yes! When all else fails, the old 'honesty' gag works every time!"…

Bachelor Tip #22: The Lift-Up-The-Hips Deal

Ted expertly unbuckles her belt. He goes for the zipper, but AHH -- there are buttons! He reaches up and blows on his fingers like he's cracking a safe, then expertly unbuttons her pants (with one hand). There is only token resistance as he grabs the top of her jeans with both hands, ready to pull them down. He pauses, pondering intensely.

TED: Bachelor Tip #22: In this situation, you never really know whether you're going all the way until she does the old lift-up-the-hips deal. When she does that, you're in there. Don't get cocky until this point.

He turns back to her. She smiles and lifts her hips very deliberately. Ted looks with a raised eyebrow.

TED: Yes!!!

But things are not all that they seem in Ted's new bliss: He's different. He now listens to John Tesh CD's, dresses like a J. Crew catalogue and tapes episodes of 'Melrose Place.' His bachelor pad has fluffy pillows, knickknacks and cat calendar, replacing the Lava Lamp, Snap-On Tools calendar and SoloFlex Machine. At work, he cancels the mega-popular "Career-ending Football Injury Bloopers" show, replacing it with "Couples Figure-skating." He may be in love, but he's changed; and his best friend Gordie sums it all up to Ted like a cold slap in the face: "You're pussy-whipped!"

Realizing that in this love-induced haze, he's been tricked into turning his life upside-down, Ted breaks it off with Heather to again pursue his destiny as "BachelorMan." But something is very wrong in single-and-looking-land. Ted can't turn the ladies heads like he used to - none of the scams work. Suddenly, Ted couldn't get laid at a Pearl Jam concert with a fistful of backstage passes. He's lost his bachelor super-powers, because - gasp - he's STILL IN LOVE. BachelorMan has found his Kryptonite…

He must get her back - but how? It will take all of BachelorMan's skill and cunning to get his Lois Lane back….

… And Ted Davis knows the perfect scam.
