One evening, the Solomons' usual table at their favorite restaurant has been booked for none other than Mark Hamill. While Dick and Harry Solomon, fan boys through and through, accept another table, Sally is quite unimpressed and confronts Mark. He mistakes her for a fan and offers her a free copy of his new comic book series, but refuses to switch tables. Mistake. He finds himself throttled and flung unceremoniously across the room.

The next day, Sally is all over the TV, adored for the guts she had to put a celebrity back in place. The fame gets to her head and she starts acting like a diva. Dick, jealous by nature, wants to be famous as well, and thinks copying Sally would be a good way. Harry, meanwhile, is acting as Sally's utter servant and when her fame wanes, he's trying all to relive it...
