Don Cortez offers to pay for their dinner because of their loyal customer basis. Larry and George think Don Cortez has other intentions. Ray takes Larry, George and Carlos on a trip through the jungle under guidance of Jerry. They however get lost. Sonia and Lorena search for a mall. They ask two passers-by for directions.

A crab walks into George's swimwear making him jump up and move weird, but George further impresses the women because they think he is dancing.
