Convinced that the only way she can achieve her goal is to have a British accent, she callously abandons her husband and life in the remote Mexican village and heads for the bright lights of Hollywood with just the poncho on her back and a vibrant personality to match. Once in LA, she meets the two men she pesters into helping her: Harry Trumble, Hollywood's British accent coach Extraordinaire and Mr Barber, 'a Dell-boy type' business man who becomes her talent agent. Together, the two men transform the unsophisticated Juanita Sanchez into the 'English Rose' that is Hazel Fulberry. The new Hazel Fulberry lands a few movies, goes to a few parties, drinks lots of champagne...lives the life she craved for so long, when all of a sudden, her career is cut short! The world's richest man is now a Mexican and so in Hollywood, the Brits are out and the Mexicans are in! The 'English Rose' image and the British accent have become passé and so has Hazel. Still determined to get that 'Orby' in her clutches, Hazel races to Harry to get back her Mexican accent. Harry coldly reminds her of the contract she signed before becoming his student; the contract that very clearly stated that once he taught her the British accent, she could NEVER use any other accent ever again.....she would be forever British.
