The marriage has the full approval of Charlotte's three daughters, Jane, Marilyn, and Leni, and their two friends, Lois and Mary Wilson. But Mexican divorces have been declared illegal, so Guy is still married to Sybil Barton, an unscrupulous gold-digger who left him 12 years earlier. She demands that Guy give her $250,000 for his freedom. The Lord girls plot with the Wilson girls and their older brother Steve, with whom Jane Lord is in love.

Mangiaracina Investigazioni

Mangiaracina Investigazioni

FIRST EPISODE: Some like the heat. August night, a boat lands on a beach in Palermo. On the sand, the dead body of a woman: her face is disfigured and, in her hands, she has a ponytail. Terio Mangiaracina and the fishermen are the only witnesses and, perhaps, perpetrators of the crime. Mid-August is near and, as claimed by one of the most popular television broadcasts, you can choose any guilty and talk about it again in September. SECOND EPISODE: Neighborhood investigations Best fan of the TV show is Fana, the prosperous sister of Terio, a failed policewoman who does not miss a national thriller, who suggests to anticipate the official investigations and seek the truth independently. Thus was born the Mangiaracina Investigazioni, an abusive agency according to the casual city style. As the headquarters, the ancient kitchen, reign of the mother Assunta, is chosen. THIRD EPISODE: Love and surprises The victim was the doorwoman of an ancient building and also a well-known witch. Terio and Fana, pretending to be aspiring doormen, move to work there. But to the complicated crime another is added, while Terio is lost in a love that, according to his sister, takes away him all lucidity. Fortunately, the policeman cousin Nofrio, emigrated back to his homeland, helps him. FOURTH EPISODE: Family gift Between evil eyes, betrayals and amorous vertigo, everything gets complicated. Terio receives a nasty surprise, while the clues and the ramshackle sensations get stuck in his mind, also thanks to his mother Assunta, until the improvised investigator arrives at the truth. It will not be as sweet as he hoped but, for his sister Fana, it will be the beginning of a new career.
