Phyl and Mikhy

Phyl is a female American track star who achieves romantic detente with Mikhy, a Russian competitor who defects from the Motherland—but not without some hurdles.

Mikhy learns about the American credit system the hard way when he uses his first credit card to buy Phyl a birthday present.

In a TV interview, Mikhy confuses the terms ""friend"" and ""lover"" in reference to some awfully embarrassed faculty members.

As Max prepares for a formal wedding for Phyl, her grouchy uncle shows up uninvited, demanding to meet ""the Commie"" who's marrying his niece.

A visit from his beautiful former girl friend makes Mikhy homesick and Phyl sick at heart.

A photographer snaps Mikhy in the buff but all Mikhy wants is an apology—until he learns how much money a centerfold is worth.
