The story

Australian heiress Alexandra Hobart's father has disapproved of every boyfriend she has brought home to meet him, including her burly, life-of-the-party fiancé, Bruce. After a disastrous birthday party, Alexandra decides to challenge her father with the worst boyfriend she can find. She hires a down-on-his luck waiter from a Mexican restaurant in Sydney, Australia, named Carlos to masquerade as her new boyfriend to persuade her father into allowing her to marry Bruce.
