A vibrant, song-and-dance romantic comedy built on charm, wit, and the collision between a gambler and a missionary, with warmth and playfulness at its core.

In New York, a gambler is challenged to take a Salvation Army missionary to Havana, and unexpectedly they fall for each other. And the bet has a hidden motive ... classic song and dance ensues!
