He needs to secure $1000 with which he can bribe for himself a place for the game. So, he makes a bet with successful gambler Sky Masterson that Sky cannot take Sarah Brown (a sergeant at the Save-a-Soul Mission) to Havana for a day. Not only does Sky try to take Sarah to Havana, but also tries to win her heart. Meanwhile, Nathan has romantic troubles of his own.
