The episode begins with Frasier and Niles enjoying a quiet evening at home. However, their peace is interrupted when their annoying acquaintance, Blaine Sternin, calls Frasier, asking him to meet with him the next day in his office.
Frasier is reluctant to go, as he knows that Blaine is a pathological liar who will make up any excuse to keep him there all day. However, Blaine has promised him an important business proposal, and Frasier feels obliged to hear him out.
When Frasier arrives at Blaine's office the next day, he is surprised to find that Blaine actually seems to have a legitimate proposition for him.

With this new information in hand, Frasier and Niles are finally able to prove conclusively that Blaine has been lying to them.
In the end, Frasier confronts Blaine with the evidence of his deceit, and Blaine finally confesses. However, the victory is bittersweet as Frasier realizes that his own obsession with exposing Blaine's lies has made him lose sight of what is truly important.
