Plot
In this modern take on Edmond Rostand's classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac," C. D. Bales is the witty, intelligent, and brave fire chief of a small Pacific Northwest town who, due to the size of his enormous nose, declines to pursue the girl of his dreams, lovely Roxanne Kowalski. Instead, when his shy underling Chris McConnell becomes smitten with Roxanne, C.D. feeds the handsome young man the words of love to win her heart.
In Nelson, Fire Chief C. D. Bales is a man with a complex: he has a huge nose. His friend Dixie rents a house to a gorgeous astronomy student, Roxanne, and C.D. falls in love with her but keeps his feelings as a secret. C.D. hires the handsome fireman Chris, and Roxanne asks C.D. to help her meet him. However, Chris is an average guy with very limited culture, so he asks C.D. to help him seduce Roxanne. C.D. writes letters disclosing his feelings for her and Roxanne is seduced by the man that writes such letters. What will happen when she meets Chris?
