Also feeling bored, the three friends then decide to leave Cleveland and head to Florida for a vacation.

After leaving some money for her two friends, Eva prepares to buy a ticket back to Europe, while at the same time, Willie and Eddie win their money back at the horse races. Will they be able to successfully catch Eva at the airport...
