When barber/aspiring professional baseball player A.J. Salerno gets a phone call from a sports agent wanting to meet with him, he tells his co-worker Danni that this is the big break he's been waiting for, and his barber days will soon be behind him. Meanwhile, the owner of the barbershop, Ben, is determined to fire one of his employees -- Buzzy, Mo, Joy, or Charmaine -- to avoid paying an insurance premium increase.

Ben is embarrassed after a one-night stand with Rita Doyle, considering her to be a "go-below." He's offended to find out that Rita is the one who thinks he is below her stature.
