In a story narrated by Samantha, she takes Bingo for granted, running around with many exciting boys and keeping Bingo on a leash for when she needs him. When Bingo gets tired of this treatment, Samantha fixes him up with her plain friend Sally, who can keep him occupied without being a threat to Samantha. But Samantha's fast-living boyfriends let her down when she needs a date for the biggest dance of the year, and when she turns to Bingo, he unwittingly gives her a taste of her own medicine.
