  Swinging single Jack Tripper moved in with strangers Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow while he attending cooking school. The landlord, Mr. Roper was outraged until one of the women lied and said that Jack was gay. For the run of the series the character (with a robust social life) was often caught in situations where he had to woo women and convince Roper he preferred men at the same time.
