Summary

  • Angelique, known as Angel, moves from France to the United States to marry American architect, John Smith. The newlyweds set up housekeeping in Los Angeles, California. She tries her best to be a good housewife but sometimes runs into problems as she learns English and adapts to her new life and culture. In this episode Johnny and Angel tell George and Susie the story of their "wedding" which Johnny doesn't really remember. When Angel arrives in New York City, Johnny meets her at immigration. Ahead of them in line are Hungarian brothers, Lazlo and Oscar, who are being detained because their cousin/sponsor is in jail. Angel persuades Johnny to sponsor them. When it is her turn with the immigration agent, she discovers that she has lost her passport, and she is detained. Johnny has no choice but to return to their honeymoon suite, accompanied by Lazlo and Oscar instead of his bride. They comfort him with a shot of slivovitz (plum brandy), telling him it is medicine. Meanwhile, Angel has found her passport and arranged for a judge to meet her at the hotel. By the time they arrive, Johnny, who cannot handle strong drink, is feeling no pain. Angel, Lazlo and Oscar get him through the ceremony. When he and Angel are finally alone, Johnny falls fast asleep on the floor.
