Poor Henry, everyone wants a piece of his new-found fortune. The dinner guests Betty and Vic Johnson (Mindy Montavon and Victor Legarreta) arrive and join in the mayhem. Detective Slater (Marcus Kiehl) enters the scene with an identical briefcase, telling everyone that a body has been found floating in the Thames. In addition a very agitated cab driver named Bill (Miguel Cintron) keeps popping in and out of the house wondering just who is going to Use his taxi to get to the airport. In typical British farce fashion, the characters change identities, run in and out of doors, end up in embarrassing situations and the suitcases keep changing hands. In addition phene calls from Mr. Big (Victor Roldan) inquire about the whereabouts of a certain "brev-curse." I finally figured out the word was brief case. His accent was rather strange. : Proctor and Gay captured the essence of the stereotypical British couple, with authentic English accents. Yudowitz, Kiehl and Cintron were delightful in their roles. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, Montavon and Legarreta provided great comic tones to their characters. Roldan is only you are welcome at on stage for a few moments. It's the anticipation of his arrival that adds to the plot.
