After the American and European television crews leave, life at Camp Cuba-Nicaragua returns to its normal desolation and languor. The 68-acre site, a leased former sunflower farm, resembles a vacated M*A*S*H stage set or a jerry-built guerrilla dude ranch. Gonzalez says his intention is both to train Latin American counterrevolutionaries for six weeks, at a cost of $600 to $700 each, and to rekindle the belligerent anti-Castro spirit of Florida's Cuban community. By Gonzalez's own admission, that second goal has been something of a dud, since would-be Cuban...

Into this quiet disarray bursts Randall (Jake Lamar), a schizophrenic, self-proclaimed "young gentleman of color" (this is set in 1961); an impossibly jive, cool dude who proceeds to play a tense game of thrust and parry with Mr. Glas, the store-owner, (David Reiffel).

...procession of dudes pauses to talk to Baby Love. Most have done hard time. Some push dope, many are boozers. All have bitter wisdom. Crocodile comes by waving a bottle of vodka, his eyes gleaming yellow. He tells Baby Love, "Wait till you do hard time, boy. They'll pat your butt, they'll feel you. You'll come home swishing like a girl." A huge dude, his muscles rippling, speaks in a cool bass: "I got a pah" of $600 lizard shoes and I got silk shirts. I'm the Man, boy. I changes...
