PROBLEM: Fact1: Richard Sherman is nerdy faithful middle-aged publishing executive with overactive imagination and mid-life crisis, Fact2: overactive imagination and Helen and son are spending summer in Maine, Fact3: commercial actress and former model rents apartment to make television spots for brand of toothpaste, Fact4: Richard invites her for drink, Fact5: fantasies causing them to fall off piano bench

SOLUTION: Richard Sherman Tom Ewell is a nerdy, faithful, middleaged publishing executive with an overactive imagination and a midlife crisis, whose wife, Helen Evelyn Keyes, and son, Ricky Butch Bernard, are spending the summer in Maine. When he returns home with the kayak paddle Ricky accidentally left behind, he meets a woman Marilyn Monroe, who is a commercial actress and former model who rents the apartment upstairs while in town to make television spots for a brand of toothpaste. That evening, he works on reading the manuscript of a book in which psychiatrist Dr. Brubaker Oskar Homolka claims that almost all men are driven to have extramarital affairs in the seventh year of marriage. Sherman has an imaginary conversation with Helen, trying to convince her, in three fantasy sequences, that he is irresistible to women, including his secretary, a nurse, and Helens bridesmaid, but she laughs it off. A tomato plant then crashes into his lounge chair; the woman upstairs apologizes for accidentally knocking it off the balcony, and Richard invites her down for a drink. He waits for her to get dressed, including in underwear she says she keeps cool in her icebox. When she arrives, a vision in pink, they have a drink and he lies about being married. When she sees his wedding ring, he backtracks but she is unconcerned, having no designs on him, only on his airconditioning. He has a fantasy that she is a femme fatale overcome by his playing of Rachmaninoffs Second Piano Concerto. In reality, she prefers Chopsticks, which they play together. Richard, overcome by his fantasies, awkwardly grabs at her, causing them to fall off the piano bench. He apologizes for his indiscretion but she says it happens to her all the time. Guiltridden, however, he asks her to leave. Over the next few days, they spend more time together and Richard imagines that they are growing closer, although she is immune to his imagined charms. Helen continually calls her husband, asking him to send the paddle so Ricky can use the kayak, but Richard is repeatedly distracted. His waning resolve to resist temptation fuels his fear that he is succumbing to the Seven Year Itch. He seeks help from Dr. Brubaker, but to no avail. His imagination then runs even wilder: the young woman tells a visiting plumber Victor Moore how Richard is just like The Creature from the Black Lagoon; the plumber repeats her story to neighbor McKenzie, whom Helen had asked to drop by to pick up Rickys paddle. Richard imagines his wife with McKenzie on a hayride which actually takes place but into which he injects his paranoia, guilt and jealousy. After seeing The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the young woman stands over the subway grate to experience the breeze – Monroe in the iconic scene in the pleated white halter dress, blowing her skirt in the wind. Eventually coming to his senses, and fearing his wifes retribution, which he imagines in a fantasy scene, Richard, paddle in hand, tells the young woman she can stay in his apartment; then he runs off to catch the next train to Maine to be with Helen and Ricky.

PROBLEM: Fact1: Renowned scientist is met by glamorous secretary Joan Hylton, Fact2: Henrik is abducted headed by sinister man named Zelinsky, Fact3: henchman takes puzzled O'Hara to headquarters of forcibly Zelinsky operation, Fact4: O'Hara Rather than goes to Scotland Yard cash in on unexpected turn of events, Fact5: returns is shocked to see rendezvous with member of Zelinsky gang

SOLUTION:
Renowned scientist Professor Henrik Hugo Schuster returns to England from a working trip overseas and is met by his glamorous secretary Joan Hylton. American Ted OHara Taylor has come in on the same flight and in the bustle of the airport he and Henrik mistakenly pick up each others identical briefcases, and OHara innocently departs with a briefcase containing a topsecret formula for a revolutionary new type of jet fuel. Later, Henrik is abducted by a group headed by a sinister man named Zelinsky Karel Stepanek, who are eager to lay their hands on the formula. They are furious to find that Henriks briefcase contains nothing more than the everyday bits and pieces of a man called OHara. They detail one of their number, the sultry Renee Byron, to track down OHara and gain his confidence. This she does, then a henchman appears and forcibly takes the puzzled OHara to the headquarters of the Zelinsky operation. They tell him that he has Henriks briefcase, which he had not previously known, and that they are prepared to pay handsomely if he passes it over. Rather than cash in on this unexpected turn of events, OHara goes to Scotland Yard. He says that he heard Zelinsky mention the name Weber, apparently an espionage agent in Paris. The inspector briefs OHara to go to Paris and make contact with Weber. OHara is followed by Renee and a cohort, who manage to steal the briefcase during the journey. OHara finds Weber Frederick Valk in Paris, and learns that he now has the briefcase in his possession but is unable to decipher the contents which appear to be written in a complex code. OHara returns to London and explains the situation to Scotland Yard. Not wanting to jeopardise Henriks safety, the police suggest he should make contact with Joan, who seems the most likely to have the necessary information. OHara shadows her waiting for a moment to make unobtrusive contact, but before he can do so he is shocked to see her rendezvous with a member of the Zelinsky gang and hand over some documents to him. The scene is set, as OHara and the police try to establish whether the apparently innocent Joan has in fact betrayed Henrik and been a prime mover in the plot all along.
