Laverne and Shirley have an unexpected guest when the local dry cleaner deliveryman passes out in their apartment. They soon learn of a language barrier due to the fact Eric the deliveryman only speaks German.
After failing to learn more about him--no thanks to Lenny and Squiggy's bumbling--Laverne invests in the help of Hildie, a German-speaking waitress from her father's business, the Pizza Bowl. They quickly realize the starving Eric now needs more than just a few bucks and a bag of sauerkraut to ease his life--he needs more work, seeing as how he's just been fired from his current job. Laverne again to the rescue manages to do just that for him, getting him work at the Pizza Bowl.
