Owen is excited to share his moment of glory with his fiance Lynn, but that excitement is extinguished when she learns of a one-night stand Owen has had and abruptly breaks off the engagement, leaving Owen heartbroken. Ray steps in to accompany Owen to the festival. Things begin to look up for the two friends when they run into actor Wallace Shawn at the airport.
