The couple heads to Vegas to get hitched, but when the smooth talking gambler Tommy Korman (Danza) falls head over heels for Betsy, he arranges for Jack to lose big in a poker game so he can claim the bride-to-be as his own girlfriend.

Hemesath, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Scott Lehrer and Drew Levy, musical direction by Tom Murray, hair and wig design by Charles G.
