Nita then goes to see Debbie, and after explaining that there is nothing between her and Bill, offers the talent package to Debbie and her company. Despite the audience's excellent reception of the Pérez Prado orchestra, as well as Nina and Elvarez' dance routine, the invited investors, who are older businessmen, appear unimpressed and ultimately decline to back Bill's company. Bill, Pablo and all the musicians return to New York where Bill persuades singer Mary Kaye to allow the orchestra to put on a show aimed at potential investors in his company, at a club where she is appearing. Bill is impressed and, back in Havana, closes the deal with Nita, who then romances him until Debbie walks in on them. Bill agrees and the next day they drive six hours from Havana to a fiesta at a sugar plantation, where Dámaso Pérez Prado and his musicians are performing. After their performance, Nita tells Bill about a new kind of music, but before she takes him to hear it, she insists that she go to New York as part of the deal. When Bill and Pablo attend a local nightclub, they see a novel dance team, Nita Munay and Elvarez. In Havana, Bill and Pablo check in to a hotel, then hold a press conference to announce that Bill is looking for a new type of Latin music. After Bill informs Debbie of his plans, she persuades Evans to let her go to Havana on her own talent hunt. Bill then asks Pablo if he will act as his interpreter on a trip to Cuba to find new, Latin musical performers. The next morning, Bill summons his Cuban friend, Pablo Fernández, to his apartment, where he tells him that he has quit Globe and that he intends to start his own company. Bill fails, however, and tells Debbie that he intends to make some career changes. At a nightclub, Bill spots his girl friend, Debbie Farmer, head of talent at rival Starbright Records, dancing with her boss, George Evans, who graciously invites Bill to a party where he may be able to persuade a particular artist not to re-sign with Starbright and sign with Globe instead. In New York, Bill Haven, head of the talent department of Globe Records, is ordered by his boss, Harry Teasdale, to sign exciting, new acts for the company or lose his job. ![]()
