Carlos suggests his cousin, Luis, who is back in the casino kitchen causing Carlos grief since the dry goods store went bankrupt. Because Luis threatens to quit the play due to certain demands, Carlos does whatever he can to meet Luis' demands, thus keep him in the play and out of the casino kitchen. Carlos needs to buy new costumes and find an adult to play Queen Isabella. That role goes to Carlos' temporary bookkeeper, Marta Vargas. It's love at first sight for shy Luis, who doesn't have the nerve to approach her nor can he concentrate on his lines. Sister Bertrille talks Carlos into being Luis' go-between with Marta. Marta thinks that it's Carlos that's in love with her, and she kisses him, which Luis sees. Luis runs off in a huff and quits the play. Sister Bertrille convinces him to come back by playing to his patriotic side. The play's a hit, it brings Luis and Marta closer together, and gets Luis permanently out of the casino kitchen as he pursues a career in show business. Unfortunately for Carlos, it's the casino floor show that Luis takes over. Written by Huggo See less
