At Monk's Café, a beautiful woman, Danielle, mistakes George for her boyfriend Neil. George becomes obsessed with the notion that he is so similar to Neil that, with only one minor change, he too could be dating women like Danielle. He repeatedly goes out with Danielle so he can press her for more information about Neil. Elaine and her date, Blaine, go to the movies. She wants to see the comedy Sack Lunch but Blaine prefers The English Patient. When Sack Lunch gets sold out, they go see The English Patient. After the movie, Elaine finds it boring and stupid. Her dislike for The English Patient alienates her from everyone and Blaine subsequently dumps her. Not wishing to upset J. Peterman, when he asks if she likes the movie, she claims not to have seen it. He has Elaine drop everything so he can take her to see it. She endures an hour or so before exclaiming her distaste for the movie. Peterman responds by firing her, but she convinces him to let her keep her job by agreeing to take a trip to Tunisia (the filming location of The English Patient) and living in a cave. Jerry is going to Florida to help his parents move out. Kramer asks him to pick up some Cubans for him and gives him a T-shirt that says "#1 Dad". Thinking he means Cuban cigars, Jerry agrees. Jerry's father, Morty, finds the "#1 Dad" T-shirt and proudly wears it. Kramer's "Cubans" are human cigar rollers he is trafficking to the United States in an attempt to skirt America's laws prohibiting Cuban imports. His attempt to start a business in Cuban-quality made-in-America cigars fails when investors recognize they are from the Dominican Republic. Kramer fears the unemployed Dominicans, whom he educated about communism, plan to revolt since they have nothing to do. At the Del Boca Vista exercise room, Jerry meets 80-year-old Izzy Mandelbaum. Izzy challenges Jerry to a weightlifting competition, but throws out his back. Jerry and Morty visit his bedside to apologize. However, Izzy wants to compete with Morty over being the best dad after seeing the "#1 Dad" shirt and throws his back out again. Jerry returns to New York, where Izzy has come to see a back specialist. Izzy's son and father show up – both men injure their backs while trying to lift the hospital's TV. The Mandelbaums complain that their Magic Pan restaurant franchise will fail since they cannot roll the crêpes while laid up. Jerry suggests they employ Kramer's "Cubans". The Dominicans, however, roll the crêpes too tightly, causing the filling to spray out and burn customers. When George tells Jerry about the situation with Danielle, Jerry points out that he has no more need to find out about Neil, since he has replaced him as Danielle's boyfriend. George meets Neil in a hospital, after Neil was burned by a crêpe. Neil's face is bandaged, so that George never sees what he looks like. Even though she agreed to move in with George, Danielle changes plans, taking Neil to an overseas clinic similar to The English Patient. Neil declares that he "won" Danielle and George vindictively pulls out his intravenous line as he leaves. Elaine's plane to Tunisia is about to show Sack Lunch, but is hijacked by the angry Dominicans, who are all wearing "#1 Dad" T-shirts. They demand the movie be shut off, much to Elaine's dismay.
