After eight years of marriage, Robert and Nina divorce. He takes up with his womanising Navy buddy Charlie Nelson while she looks to her interfering mother for guidance. Both start dating other people, but although they try and ignore each other whenever they accidentally meet, it is obvious the past is not dead. Then one night they find themselves in a nightclub doing the mambo together. 译文(2): 结婚八年后，罗伯特和尼娜离婚了。他和好色的海军战友查理 · 尼尔森在一起，而查理 · 尼尔森则向爱管闲事的母亲寻求指导。两个人都开始和别人约会，但是尽管他们试图在偶然相遇的时候忽略对方，但是很明显过去并没有消失。然后有一天晚上他们发现自己在一家夜总会一起跳曼波舞。
