Plot

Kramer needs Elaine's help in reacquiring a jacket that supposedly has an attractive power over women. To get the jacket, he asks Elaine to impersonate the daughter of the owner.

George thinks his girlfriend Audrey (Susan Diol) is perfect, except for one flaw: she has a large nose. During a conversation about beautiful women, Kramer bluntly tells her she needs a nose job. In outrage, Elaine refuses to help him with the jacket. Eager to see his girlfriend's one flaw corrected but afraid of appearing shallow, George first ascertains that Audrey was not offended by Kramer's suggestion and then delicately persuades her to get the nose job. The surgery is horrifically botched, and an appointment is made to fix the damage. George is so nauseated by her disfigured nose that he cannot look at her, and tries to lead her into taking a vacation to Hawaii or the Caribbean by herself in this interim between surgeries. Realizing George's intentions, Audrey breaks up with him in response.

Jerry is conflicted about his relationship with an actress (Tawny Kitaen) named Isabel, who he finds sexually attractive, but rude and irritating. He likens the conflict to a chess match between his brain and his penis. At one point, he has Kramer get rid of the actress's number on a paper and he does so by ripping it up; however, Jerry regrets his decision and demands Kramer return the number, to which the latter reluctantly does so. When Isabel has him do a practice reading with her, delivering a scenery-chewing performance, Jerry decides he can endure no more and breaks up with her.

After Kramer takes Audrey to the hospital, Elaine relents and goes with him to get the jacket. They are able to convince the landlord and he gives them the jacket, but he inadvertently upsets Kramer when he insults Kramer's mother and Kramer attacks him offscreen. Audrey's nose is fixed, making her overall appearance radiantly beautiful (which enamors George). Kramer is seen with the jacket and goes out with Audrey, much to George's dismay.
