THE STORY: Smitten by fantasies of Fidel Castro, Betsy finds that she cannot respond to the advances of her fiance, Hadley, unless he assumes the guise of the Cuban leader - beard, army cap, cigar and all. Hadley has reached the point of suggesting psychiatric help when onto the scene bursts Paco, a bearded revolutionary, seeking refuge from (he says) the CIA men who are pursuing him. Betsy's immediate attraction to the debonair stranger is the last straw for poor Hadley - and from there on the plot twists and turns hilariously until the truth is out (or is it?) and Betsy's hang-up has (or has it?) been overcome for good.

This zany comedy deals with the romantic problems of a young girl who is "turned on" by thoughts of the hirsute Cuban leader - much to her clean-shaven fiance's discomfort. "[a] merry little farce for three" - The New Yorker. "he has a good-natured sense of humor that is disarming and all three of his characters are engaging creatures." - NY Post.
