Desperately Seeking Susan

Roberta, a bored suburban housewife, becomes fascinated with Susan, whom she has read about in the personal columns of a newspaper, until she ends up in trouble after being mistaken for Susan herself.

Roberta, a bored New Jersey housewife, gets her kicks reading the personal columns in the newspaper. When she becomes obsessed with a relationship between two lovers who arrange their meetings through the columns, she decides to find out for herself who they are.

But when Roberta is involved in an accident, she loses her memory and thinks she is Susan, the free-spirited woman in the personals. Unfortunately, Susan is in a lot of trouble, and Roberta finds herself caught in the middle.
