One Night in the Tropics Page #9

Synopsis: Jim "Lucky" Moore (Allan Jones), an insurance salesman, comes up with a novel policy for his friend, Steve (Robert Cummings): a 'love insurance policy', that will pay out $1-million if Steve does not marry his fiancée, Cynthia (Nancy Kelly). The upcoming marriage is jeopardized by Steve's ex-girlfriend, Mickey (Peggy Moran), and Cynthia's disapproving Aunt Kitty. The policy is underwritten by a nightclub owner, Roscoe (William Frawley), who sends two enforcers - Abbott and Costello - to ensure that the wedding occurs as planned. Everyone involved in the situation winds up sailing or flying to San Marcos (a fictional South American country), where another complication arises, when Lucky falls for Cynthia. Lucky winds up marrying Cynthia, but Roscoe does not have to pay the $1-million because Steve ends up marrying Mickey.

Pick the purple treasure

Singing in the sunshine

Work becomes a pleasure

Life becomes divine

Life is divine

Oh, aren't you packed yet?

Packed?

Have you been drinking?

Oh, uh, just a little bit.

Are you sober?

Oh, sober as a judge.

Oh, Senor Escobar, if only

you were an eight man. Oh!

Oh, madame! Please! Allow me!

Darling, please, please, please!

No, no, no! Not if you went on

talking for the rest of your life.

Which won't be long now

because here comes Roscoe.

Don't you dare

lay a finger on him!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I was just tryin' to tell ya that Steve

married the little Mick...

and now we don't

have to pay off.

"Don't you lay a finger... "

She loves me!

He's gonna make

a wonderful husband.

You don't even know

what a husband is.

A husband is what's left of a sweetheart

after the nerve has been killed.

Keep the remarks to yourself!
