The Chateau LeMartin has been in Marina's family for generations, but now the slimy Carlo Capodimonte threatens to foreclose on an old loan and take the chateau for himself. Desperate to save the family heritage, Marina kidnaps an American millionaire in order to pay off the loan. Unfortunately for Marina, the rich and charming "Richard Redstone" she has tied up in the cellar is none other than Richie Ryan.moreless

Comedy flavor of the week: James Bond Spoof

6.0

By MagellanTheCat, Mar 23, 2010

No guest immortal of the week. A minor noble scumbag is blackmailing the young sweet, innocent grand-daughter of the man who owns an estate into marrying him. She tries to kidnap a wealthy American with the help of her imbecile painter friend so that the relatives/company with pay a ransom she can use to buy back the deed to the chateau. Bad Disco flashbacks that serve very little point.

No sword fight. No quickening. No nothing to make this episode really worth watching. Substandard TV fair for those too bored to channel surf. Like most of seasons 4 and 5, I recommend skipping this one.moreless

- Richie: I dunno, Mac - she drugged me, kidnapped me, tied me to a bed. If you ask me, I think that's a pretty solid foundation for a relationship.
