- Meet The Optimist. A guy who has big dreams in life yet creates problems and confusion wherever he goes. He means well, but in this dialogue-free comedy series he manages to leave a trail of chaos across Hollywood and London.
- Out jogging, the Optimist (Enn Reitel) realizes he's unfit, but when a doctor enrols him at a health farm, he soon discovers the place is more like a prison run by the scary Matron (Fran Ryan). He's half-starved, tortured in the gym, physically battered in an all-ladies aerobic session, and cut down in a karate class. Despite this, he falls for a Dancer (Terri Robinson) and devises a plan to escape with her help, using a multitude of disguises and the local fire department. Finally, he makes a bid for freedom, jogging into the sunset with the girl of his dreams.
- As an odd-job man, the Optimist (Enn Reitel) is a tennis pro, a waiter, golfing coach and dog minder - all in one day. Out walking a St Bernard and a Toy Poodle in Beverly Hills, he loses the poodle while coaching a beautiful Lady Golfer (Tracy Scoggins). He also meets a gorgeous Girl (Jennifer Landor), the daughter of his employer (Ferdy Mayne), and she persuades him to play tennis and act as a waiter at a poolside party. Chaos ensues as the Optimist finds himself pursued by both women.
- Suffering from the effects of a hangover, the Optimist (Enn Reitel) watches a windsurfing documentary on television and starts to dream that he is part of the exotic scene. In his fantasy, he meets a beautiful Girl (Sharron Davies) as well as a Rival (David Fletcher) for her affections. During his misadventures on the beach, in the nightclub and on the surfing board, the Optimist falls in love with the Girl and faces a surfing challenge by his Rival. The outcome is quite a surprise.
- Dressed up for a weekend break, the Optimist (Enn Reitel) arrives at a dude ranch. He meets the beautiful Girl (Carinthia West), a riding instructress, and squares off with a handsome Rival (Martin Kove), who also pursues her affections. Learning to be a cowboy, he tries to spit like the grizzly Veteran (Bill Erwin), gets lost in the desert, is lassoed in the corral, and knocks himself out on the gun range, before fantasising he's Clint Eastwood in a shootout with the Rival.
