She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be Dr. Steinberg. Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an… aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah’s parents are enraptured.

In this wacky comedy set against the backdrop of the Cold War, Walter Hollander, a middle-aged caterer from New Jersey, his wife Marion and daughter Susan run afoul of the authorities in a Communist country and are forced to hide in the American Embassy.  Over the next few weeks, they proceed to turn the Embassy upside-down while the beleaguered (and under-qualified) son of the Ambassador frantically tries to find a way to help them escape.  Adding to the chaos are a temperamental chef, a priest who’s a would-be magician and a vindictive sheik.  Will Howard and Marion ever get back to New Jersey, or will Krojack, the chief of the Secret Police, finally get them in his clutches?  Come on down and find out..
