In "Herbie Beards Castro!", Herbie finds himself caught in a wild chain of absurd events after his family's trip to Florida takes a bizarre turn when he's roped into boxing Sonny Liston—part of a scheme to raise money for a ransom that could free the head of the Cuban underground. With the stakes higher than ever, Herbie must now journey to Cuba, trading his usual misadventures for a mission that's equal parts ridiculous and urgent.
