Wigs & Skins. Honzik's parable of the praying mantises, in fact, is even more apt in many parts of the Communist world. Communist China is busily shipping Peking ducks to Havana, and in return is importing giant Cuban-bred bullfrogs for the few Chinese gourmets who can still afford them. Red China's trade may become even more exotic.

As an ace sporting-goods salesman at the San Francisco emporium of Abercrombie & Fitch, Rock Hudson plays the kind of city-bred softie who can't bear to eat a fish, much less catch one. But when Publicist Paula Prentiss proposes that he represent Abercrombie's in the Lake Wakapoogee fishing tournament, it's either go to Wakapoogee or lose the job. Braving the enameled wilderness devised by Producer-Director Howard Hawks, Rock soon finds himself...
