The hero in this full-length comedy is Lenny, the original nice guy. He runs an ice-cream shop in an old downtown neighborhood and in the eyes of some people his biggest accomplishment, at the age of 33, is concocting butterscotch sundaes. His sister thinks its time he got a "real" job, his best friend wants him to be more of a "player" with women, his mom thinks he ought to move in with her and his grandmother, and the pizzeria owner next door says he's got to persuade the landlord not to tear down the buildings and put up condos.

Lenny is struggling to respond to this list of demands when tearful young woman enters the store. Over a shared tunafish sandwich, a bond is formed, a transformation occurs, and we learn that nice guys don't always finish last
