Who's Che Guevara?

Wed, Sep 13, 196760 mins

Two Cuban exiles hijack a seaplane which Paul Bryan chartered, to bring back an anti-Castro leader. Paul was headed from Tampa to St. Andrew, to meet old buddies to fish for marlin. The exiles' loudly declaimed mission is to convey to Florida, Emilio Diaz, a leader with Castro in the 26th of July Movement, which overthrew Batista. Diaz was imprisoned by Castro for opposing Communism rule. The two exilio cubanos served time with Diaz, who they explain, escaped from prison 2 days before. His fellow 26th of July commander, Che Guevara, was executed in Bolivia 3 weeks after this episode aired originally. Paul, who was forced at gunpoint to go along, fought the Red menace in Korea and for the CIA, so he has empathy for the exiles' cause, and co-operates, to ensure his own survival.
