Warning: Spoilers
A few years ago ITCproduced a compilation set, and included this episode. Why, I'll never know. The girls have very little to do in this episode.

The story begins with Millie and Maggie shopping in their friend Rudy's fashion boutique. A telegram arrives, informing Rudi that his late uncle left him a castle in Italy. The girls are interested in visiting a castle, so they convince Rudy to claim his inheritance. They have a holiday coming up. Rudy is going on their prodding. They board a bus and he sits very close to a beautiful girl. He falls in love with her at first sight. Her name is Lisa Vespucci. He wants to see her again, but there is a code involved in making arrangements. The girls and Rudi check into an inn. His last name Maestroanni causes a stir. An undertaker and a priest come in and size Rudi up. Then the estate lawyer comes in and explains that there is a vendetta between the Vespuccis who swear to kill all Maestroannis. Vespucci walks in. He is a big strapping guy. After midnight, they can fight. The funeral for Rudy's Uncle Luigi takes place. Both parties race to the graveyard. They slow down when they meet the priest who leads them solemnly. Rudi sees Lisa, and they are pulled apart. Rudi won't leave without seeing Lisa. He is willing to give up the castle to see her. The girls go with him to Vespucci. Vespucci won't talk to him. Rudi calls for Lisa. Millie climbs up the wall of the Vespucci's castle but falls. They go back to the inn. Rudy won't leave without speaking to Lisa. He goes to the villa. The girls plan to do something. Millie entices a bull to knock down the villa's door. They get Lisa who fells them it is all madness. Lisa goes and meets Rudi. Lisa won't come inside. There is a penalty. Millie pushes them in and locks the door. She won't tell Maggie what the code is. Vespucci comes in looking for Lisa. They run out towards Maestroannis. Rudi opens the door and they burst in. Both Rudi and Lisa are grabbed and forced to marry.
