Lola will be once Rico gets her drunk. Worse, he drugs her drink and kidnaps her on a plane to Havana, where his Tropicana is Cuba's biggest nightclub. Conchita's the star there … but not for long. Her number gives your choreographer the chance to stage a rhumba, a mambo, the samba and everything else that '40s legend Carmen Miranda ever tried. Now Rico wants Lola to replace Conchita, "because," he flatly tells her, "you're too old.
Back at the Copa, Tony hears what happens and gets on a plane to Havana. Even the allegedly hard-hearted Mr. Silver is moved to come along. Conchita inveigles her way into Lola's room to injure her - until she sees the lass's distress at having been kidnapped. Now she wants to save her from Rico.
