Plot[]
A woman named Joanna Piper (played by Suzanne Pleshette) and a man named Mike (played by Gil Gerard) are contestants on an up and coming brand new game show (i.e. For Love or Money) that is based on the premise that everyone has a price.
How much money will it take to break up their happy relationship? Can they resist $25,000... $50,000... $100,000... or will it take $1,000,000 for the loving couple to just walk away and never see each other again? What the producers don't know is that the two contestants are giving their own little game as they are pretending to be falling in love for a crack at the money...or are they just pretending?
