Plans go terribly wrong when Tyler gets kidnapped for ransom by a group of inept Mafioso who end up taking him to the wrong hideaway - an enchanted Italian cottage called "Sarbolai" in the lush, rolling hills above Piano. The kidnappers' scheme has a startling twist when each of the men becomes caught in a strange enchantment causing them to fall hopelessly in love with the first soul to meet his eyes.



While the Mafiosi get swept off their feet by hysterical and unfortunate choices, Tyler's sets his eyes on the beautiful Rosalia ("Miss Universe") who flatly refuses to do anything with him. Thus, the comic and romantic pursuits begin!
