Taking place about a year after the first season, the port town of Rubacava has grown, and Manny has become the owner of the renamed Calavera Café, a successful bar, nightclub and casino. When the act opens, Meche Colomar, whom Manny had been waiting for, has arrived at Rubacava, and Manny watches her leave on the SS Lambada with his former coworker and rival Domino Hurley. Upon learning from Velasco that the ship was heading for Puerto Zapato, Manny resolves to go after her on the old SS Limbo, which was also to leave that night.
