Rabbi Mendez has a problem. Engaged couple Alfredo Acquilar and Sophia Baldazon want to get married but the temple is too small to hold all their invited guests. So Sister Bertrille convinces all to hold the ceremony on the grounds of the convent. All is going well until Alfredo, a heavy gambler, loses his honeymoon money at Carlos' casino. Sister Bertrille wants Carlos to show Alfredo and Sophia, who happens to be his bookkeeper, some kindness and "return" the money via losing at a fixed craps game using loaded dice. Carlos is reluctant since he does run a legitimate business, but concedes as usual to Sister Bertrille wishes. She convinces Alfredo to go along with it since she says she had a premonition of him winning at something that looked liked craps. Two unfortunate things happen during the craps game. First, Alfredo refuses to stop after he wins back his honeymoon money. And second, Captain Fomento comes by the casino and finds the loaded dice. Carlos is thrown in jail. Carlos is furious with Sister Bertrille, but his anger softens when Captain Fomento drops the charges on the advice of Rabbi Mendez. So Alfredo and Sophia get married and live happily ever after. But first Carlos has to bail out Alfredo once again with the provision of his yacht as Alfredo lost the honeymoon money at yet another casino. Written by Huggo See less
