Four single friends -- comic Jerry Seinfeld, bungling George Costanza, frustrated working gal Elaine Benes and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer -- deal with the absurdities of everyday life in New York City.
When Jerry is booked to appear on "The Tonight Show," he takes George with him to Los Angeles to search for Kramer, who vanished in a huff months earlier.
While in Los Angeles, Jerry and George are picked up by the police; Kramer is a suspect in a series of serial murders.
Jerry is approached by network executives and asked to create a new television show.
Jerry tries to evade a vengeful writer; Kramer agrees to be a witness at a friend's trial; George woos an executive.
