Cuban Pete

Harmless mumbo-jumbo which has Arnaz conveniently cast as a Cuban bandleader. Sappy plot has Fulton trying to lure Arnaz away from his native Havana and bring him to the Big Apple to play on a radio spot. If he doesn't play, the show's sponsor is going to withdraw. Fulton has a tough time of it until she is helped out by Arnaz's favorite niece. Songs: "The Breeze and I" (Al Stillman, Ernesto Lecuona), "El Cumbanchero" (Rachel Hernandez), "Lullaby" (adapted by Bill Driggs from the Mexican folk song, "Cielito Lindo"), "After Tonight" (Jack Brooks, Milton Schwartzwald), and "Rhumba Matumba" (Bobby Collaza).
