After marrying in Havana, Cuba, Lieutenant Solis and his wife Olga arrived in Los Angeles to sightsee. Olga speaks fluent English but her husband very little. They met while Olga was visiting Spain, where Fernando is a part of one of the country's most famous families. Olga is a member of one of Cuba's wealthiest island families.
