What Season 4 of Three's Company

Janet Wood, a florist, and Chrissy Snow, a secretary, share an apartment in Santa Monica after Eleanor's wedding. To cover the rent, they take in Jack Tripper, a culinary student, but their landlord, Stanley Roper, doesn't allow single men and women to live together. So the trio keeps up the lie that Jack is gay. This season multiplies the complications of that charade. Jack gets tangled up with the FBI, with a neighbor who falls for him and with a cruise, while Chrissy changes jobs and loses money she didn't have. Plus, Ralph Furley arrives as the new landlord after a mix-up over the furniture.
