Our good-looking dark haired hero, Allen Towne, in his thirties; the son of an Anglo father politician and Hispanic mother is so dedicated to political Conservatism that he’s unaware his long time secretary, Mary Albright, is in love with him. Nevertheless, even though Towne is an outstanding State Senator, in order to unseat the present Governor, a Liberal and also a nice guy, he requires the services of the top Public Relations expert, Ralph Sharp.

At ‘rise’ there are two stage sets, one of which 80% is illuminated while the other 20% is dark. Senator Towne is sitting quietly at his desk with his back to the audience; with hands clasped behind his head he’s looking favorably up a banner that reads: SENATOR ALLEN TOWNE-NEXT GOVERNOR! To his left sits the dutiful Mary Albright behind her pristine desk, while on the opposite side is the disheveled desk of his PR specialist Ralph Sharp that resembles it, somewhat.

The moment the scene is effective it goes ‘dark’ just as the smaller one erupts in a blaze of music and flashing lights where five citizen dancers mingle. The site has a slightly elevated platform with a black & white large photo of our hero hanging over it, and covering its entire back wall is a distant unclear black and white photo of countless tiered rows of seated delegates, with the distant sounds of background Convention music heard. But then, from out of the darkness our hero leaps onto the platform displaying somewhat of a distorted expression indicating that his subconscious is in control as he forcefully expresses DOING IT! Caught up in his effort the attentive crowd then displays an energetic dance after which a reverse blackout takes us back to the Senator’s office. There we see Mary Albright peering distastefully at Ralph Sharp just as the Senator enters. Then, just as Towne seats himself his inter office phone rings, and within moments the rich comical impervious supporter J. Blass appears where, within seconds, he blithely insults the intelligence of Ralph Sharp, and before he leaves he 'very energetically' sings and dances to ADVOCATE-ISM. It’s at that moment the highly disturbed Sharp details the only sexual indiscretion in the Senator’s past, and that the consultant’s expertise will definitely be required! In response, the angry Towne retorts that I MAY NOT BE PERFECT and then storms out, with Sharp departing soon after. Having witnessed the foray the disconsolate Mary Albright openly re-informs herself that HE NEEDS ME.

With the election getting close, at their next meeting, Sharp bluntly tells the Senator that for him to be successful in politics, especially on the upper level, that A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN; meaning a wife, indicating the other ‘surprise,’ his secretary? It’s then that although he has problems with Sharp, Towne realizes his need of the consultant’s services! But to be more objective he decides to take a short undisclosed vacation, and abruptly leaves. It’s then that secretary Albright and consultant Sharp strongly argue their differing views about the Senator being a DEDICATED MAN. However, it’s close to the end of the contemptuous moments that they both realize that they’re actually in agreement, and so they begin to see one another ‘in a different light.’

Unfortunately, instead of returning home, the Senator lies in a coma in a Puerto Rican hospital, the victim of a serious accident that had caused severe burns to his face and hands. Weeks later, upon awakening, matters are made even worse because the Senator is found to have amnesia. With the severity of his burns, especially to his fingers, there’s little hope of finding his identity.

Enter the bombastic female newspaper reporter Alicia, who during our hero’s unconsciousness wrote fascinating narratives supplied to her by the medical staff that caused a surge in her paper’s circulation. But then upon learning about Towne’s amnesia, although a bit concerned, still, during their initial talk she was so impressed with his ability to speak English and Spanish fluently, including his suave mannerisms, that she determined that he must be someone of prominence. However, being a highly regarded investigative reporter that unless she finds the right method to expose his true identity, it will be like ‘finding a needle in a haystack.’ Also, another thing that Alicia isn’t aware of was during their first meeting that she caused Towne such a sensual arousal that somehow he was certain that it had never happened to him before!

Alicia’s continuous articles about her intent to pursue leads adds to the newspapers circulation, and it’s then that she convinces her boss to make hotel arrangements for Towne to depart the hospital. But Towne feels a bit confused and even frightened and as Alicia takes Towne by the hand she enthusiastically tells him that YOU GOTTA GET OUT INTO THE WORLD MAN! Still, as they exit, he hesitantly sits on a stoop near the entrance during which time she entreats him by repeating the song’s message while street dancing with common folk as Towne looks on impassively.

Towne, having settled into a hotel room; his face and hands free of bandages, remains in a state of confusion because of memory loss, and starring into a hand held mirror he questions WHO AM I? But then reacting to the knock on the door that reveals the radiant Alicia, Towne inadvertently changes his thought about a quick self discovery. However, Alicia learned that while in the hospital Towne was subjected to an A to Z project that alphabetically named professions, however after getting as far as the letter ‘O’ his worsened boredom caused the project to end. Nevertheless, because Alicia decides to be the one to continue it, he happily agrees, and so she starts where others left off with the letter ‘O’ until she exhausts naming the professions, as well as herself. But it’s a ‘must’ for her to go forward with the letter ‘P’ and it’s during the near exhaustive search when she barely mentions the word Politician that our excited hero leaps to his feet! Although he can’t recall his name he declares that Politics is definitely his profession, and Alicia too is certain of it! Before leaving she makes a vain attempt to calm him down, but for naught. Then when alone he finally does compose himself, and yet, because of his new found feelings for Alicia, although he wants redemption he’d like it to slow down, and with thoughts of her only, he asserts that I NEVER FELT THIS WAY!

Subsequently, Alicia discovers information about a particular political figure, missing for several years, that, as a bearded Senator, according to old photos he resembles Towne in a number of ways. It was known that a horrific family disaster caused the official the heartbreak, and Alicia believed that after a long while it was only instinct that brought him back. The missing political figure had been a sound voice within the ‘Liberal’ party- the very opposite party to which the ‘Conservative’ Towne belonged to in the United States. Thus, Alicia’s reporting insight and our hero’s emotional need is cause for him to accept the identity of someone he isn’t! And so it’s with another’s name, and a timely coincidence that he ‘re-enters’ the Liberal party where he quickly re-gains a reputation for such things that he could have opposed in the States. Still, regardless of the many good things happening it’s because of Alicia that his sentimental unproductive needs were made most importance, a cause for him to echo that IT’S A NEW ME!! Consequently, his supposed Puerto Rican background proves a strong aid in a ‘come-back’ where our hero rapidly gains popularity because of his innate ability to draw on popular support to get ‘key’ projects passed. What amazes friend and foe alike are the results gained by the Liberals that couldn’t be achieved in years, and it’s the increased voting turnout among the poor makes the difference! When his own mystified personnel ask how he seems to know beforehand what takes place on either side of the political isle, he responds in a hush: STRATEGY!

Naturally, our hero’s success brings on the ire of a well entrenched political enemy, Rodriquez. Nevertheless, for the moment, everything becomes moot, and his only revelation is to Alicia, and his love for her, something the shocks her into recalling a distasteful past. Though transfixed for the moment, it’s soon that her thoughts begin to facilitate a dramatic change, and for the very first time she looks lovingly into our hero’s eyes to tenderly express LISTEN TO MY HEART, during which he can’t help but to participate.

Next, by request, our hero and his attaché meet with Rodriquez and his entourage at his lair. Rodriquez thinks that his powerful reputation will thwart any differing plans proposed by our hero. However, our hero instinctively ‘outflanks’ his angered opponent when he flaunts his opponents very own words back at him. Then with all the acrimony at Rodriquez’s disposal being shouted at his newly confirmed enemy, our hero and his attaché merely saunter away without any response.

The inevitable was soon to occur. After another of Towne’s congressional victories and during an office celebration, an interrupting phone call informs them of a man and woman, friends of our hero, had just arrived in Puerto Rico on their honeymoon and would like to pay their respects. Just those simple words shock our hero into recalling his past unsullied life. He suddenly realizes it was his life threatening accident and amnesic condition that truly saved his life because he has truly found happiness, the feeling of true love and respect.

Even though Towne’s revelations provides his former PR advisor Sharp and former secretary Mary Albright with answers, Sharp makes it clear that only when it was thought the senator was lost forever that he and secretary Albright realized their love for one another. Thus, their hasty Las Vegas marriage and flight to Puerto Rico. Then yet another shock - seeing a front page newspaper photo of Towne and an accompanying article about Towne’s political nuances and love for Alicia that made everything clear. It was the fulfillment of what Sharp had intended when he was Towne’s advisor (to be successful in politics – a man needs a woman), he becomes overjoyed and can’t help but to expound upon ALL OF YOU. It becomes obvious to Towne that he must resign because the response of his political adversary, Rodriguez, will be swift. In any event, it is Towne’s intent to remain in Puerto Rico with the woman he loves, as he and Alicia exemplify IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE!

With the TV station granting our hero’s request for air time, Rodriguez demands equal time on the same TV program. His demands are granted but both men are warned not to make direct accusatory remarks at one another. After Towne’s confessions, it is Rodriguez’s undeniable hatred that oversteps their agreement and the TV station abruptly ends the foray. Still, the TV station is flooded with praise of our hero and because of his intention to remain in Puerto Rico, there’s even talk of somehow resubmitting his own name for Congress.

Alicia, alone with her lover in his office, states that for all he’s been through, it’s he ‘Who’s Got What It Takes’. But he countermands her by saying if it weren’t for her determination nothing could have occurred. During their discussion Towne’s assistant is about to enter the scene and sees the two of them deep in conversation. The assistant tiptoes to the doorway and quietly beckons the cast to enter which they do on tip-toe, along with two of the cast members escorting the rigid Rodriguez between them. When Alicia notices what’s taking place, rather than continue the disparity between her and our hero, she stands and puts the question to a hesitant cast. When nothing comes of it, she notices the frigid Rodriguez and after taking a hesitant breath, she confronts him. Rodriguez slowly enunciates the reasons why our hero is the one ‘Who’s Got What It Takes’, simply because in all the years Rodriguez legislated, no one else but our hero could have changed his thinking. With all in agreement the entire cast gleefully participates in singing the FINALE.
