Synopsis: Wealthy industrialist Robert Talbot arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious Italian villa to find three problems lying in wait for him.

Secondly, the major domo of his villa, Maurice Clavell, has turned the estate into a posh hotel to make some easy money while the boss isn't around. And, finally, the current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys, led by Tony, who are 'laying siege' at the outer walls of the villa. Talbot, to his own surprise, finds himself becoming an overprotective chaperone.

- But theres nothing there.

- Give us 20 minutes, will you?

I want them picked up for trespassing.

Unfortunately, sir,

It's not your property.

Theyre like spiders. And they've got

the flies helping them put up their web.

- Why arent those flies out hiking?

- They Insisted on going to help out

The moment I saw you,

just came out of my shell.

Well, yes, but you know I really think

we ought to go help the others, Tony.

- Say that again.

- Like what?

- The boys need kerosene.

- Why? Who are they planning to burn?

- It is for the stove.

- Theyre very nice American boys.

- So was the Dalton gang.

The boys are hurt

They think you don't like them.

Theyre right.

Theyre college students on their first

vacation in Europe. Go...Make friends.

- I don't want to make friends.

- I don't understand you.

- Theyre sweet.

- Sweet.

- Yes

- Yes.

Do you know what the boys are going to do

with the girls this afternoon?

No.

What are the boys going to do

with the girls this afternoon?

Well, I thought,

those girls have nothing to do.

These boys have nothing to do.

So, they could use the sun terrace.

- But Robert wouldn't like that

- No, Robert wouldn't like that

Then I said to my self,

"Wouldn't it be nice

if they all rented motors scooters

and went for a ride In the country?"

That's what you said to your self.

Did you say it to them?

Oh, yes. The boys said it sounded

like it would be a lot of fun.

Well, that sounds like the boys.

- Mr. Cavell.

- Sir?

Go with them and you are not to let those

girls out of your sight.

- Sir, I can't ride a motor scooter.

- Then learn.

I have no sense of balance.

I was the only child, I had to be

strapped to my tricycle.

- I won't let them go out alone.

- Robert

Lisa, please.

I don't know how I let myself get talked Into

all of this, but I'm In it

It's not his hotel, It's my home.

I am the one legally responsible.

- I fully expect your friend, err...

- Margaret.

...to sue me the minute she goes out.

- She wouldn't.

I can be sued for sprung sacroiliac

I can go to jail for what

can happen to those girls.

What can happen to them?

There are four boys and six girls.

That adds up to ten.

And there's safety In numbers.

Theres more to mathematics than adding.

These boys look quite capable

of dividing and multiplying

Oh

Oh

They purposely took this road.

Theyre trying to shake us.

I don't know about you,

but I'm pretty well shook.

All right, so It's my fault

I said I'm sorry.

You'd be more comfortable

if you put your head against me.

- What did you wish for?

- It's very bad luck to tell.

I hope you get what you want

That sure Is sweet of you.

You know, this Is a side of you

I've never seen before.

What Is?

This protective attitude towards women.

Women? Theyre only 18.

Children, no older than my niece.

- So?

- So?

So?

Would I let my niece

go out with guys like that?

I know those boys.

I know that's on their mind.

Robert,

you have a moral streak.

You know me better than that

Hey, Beagle Beagle

- What?

- Look.

A Papilio glaucus. Thatd look great

In your butterfly collection.

- What butterfly collection?

- The one you're starting, now.

- Oh.

- Come on, it went that way.

- Now, just a minute here.

- You wait here In case it doubles back.

Tony, are you sure

that butterfly's gonna come here?

Positive. When you're followed,

you instinctive find a place

where nobody can find you.

- This Is it

- You do know a lot about butterflies.

It's what we study In medical school:

Insects, animals, people.

You'd be surprised

how similar we are In many ways.

Oh?

Well, did you know that

beetles actually kiss?

- No.

- Sure.

How?

The boy beetle rubs his antenna

against the girl beetle.

And what does the girl beetle do?

If he doesn't rub her the wrong way,

they make plans for the future.

Like tonight.

Medicine's a fascinating field.

That's why a woman

like Lisa so interesting.

Lisa?

There are 206 bones In the human body.

I've never seen them that way arranged before.

Oh.

- She sure Is a beautiful specimen.

- Yes, she Is. For her age.

- I am sorry. I didn't mean to be catty.

- Don't be sorry.

She Is, she's very beautiful.

- She really Is.

How would you say I'm arranged?

- You?

- Yeah.

I never gave it much thought.

You've got good basic bone structure.

Let me see.

Nice rib cage.

Fibula.

Tibias good.

Ah, well-developed patellas.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hm.

Uh-huh.

Good.

Very good.

Excellent

Good strong heartbeat.

- Isn't that strange?

- What?

Your pulse,

it suddenly started to race.

- Did it?

- It's swung down now.

There it goes again.

it doubled back.

Oh, err... Tony was just examining

my bone structure.

He's studying to be a doctor.

Where does he plan to Intern?

At the Follies Bergres?

I don't want to Interfere

with medical progress,

but were ready to leave.

After you, Doctor.

- Hey, Beagle. Is this it?

- Yes, sir

Here we go

I thought you said

he'd never make it up this hill.

All right, so we get him

on the next hill.

He's killing the whole day for us.

What about tonight?

The girls are leaving In the morning.

Beagle, will you relax?

We'll get rid of him.

I don't know.

This Is no kid we're fooling with.

That's the answer, he's no kid.

Look he's got a be over 35.

How many hills can he take?

I don't know.

He looks pretty rugged to me.

Yeah, In his day, Beagle.

The B-29 was a rough plane, but it cant

keep up with a guided missile.

When they wheel him

Into the hanger tonight,

his tail Is really gonna be dragging.
