Andrew, un inventore dilettante un po' svitato, abita in una villa isolata insieme a sua moglie Adrian, noiosa e trascurata dal marito, perso dietro i suoi congegni, ora saltuariamente volanti, ora magici. Durante un fine settimana arrivano altre due coppie: Leopold, un anziano professore di filosofia, materialista dichiarato, presuntuoso e pedante, la sua fidanzata Ariel e Maxwell, un medico libertino, con la sua infermiera tuttofare Dulcy, tanto belloccia quanto oca e facile. Le tre coppie trascorrono così, tra discussioni filosofiche, scambi di partner, esperimenti scientifici, equivoci e amori al chiaro di luna, un eccitante, divertente e alla fine anche un po' tragico weekend.
