She wants to buy his horses and he grows angry. He pulls the horses off the ship, but Ricardo is able to get him to reconsider. Ricardo promises his father to never sell the horses to that woman. Glenda Crawford (Betty Grable) is excited for Ricardo's winning horse and buys her. He's smitten, but then he finds out that she's Binnie's niece.
The main story and the main characters are almost secondary in importance. This introduced Carmen Miranda to most Americans. The movie has plenty of traditional South American song and dance. That's its main strength. There's nothing wrong with Ameche and Grable. They are a fine pairing.
