HPT 178: Mobba Mia!

Up-and-coming mafioso RONALDO ZPEOPLEOVER and his overzealous nepo-hire partner MICAH NECTIONSGOTMETHEJOB crash a high-profile island wedding to whack an elusive mafia competitor. To avoid sticking out like two mobster-shaped thumbs, the pair goes undercover as the dashing bridesmaids of MARY RICH, the beautiful and busty but begrudging bride-to-be. Her overbearing and manic mother, MAY KINGDINNER, has freed herself from the shackles of domesticity and found her daughter the perfect match: ARI VEDERCI, a philandering Italian baker who just so happens to own the island. The mobsters, smelling trouble, move stealthily to hunt down their kingpin, but the job isn’t so straightforward. Bumbling detective SERGE ZEPREMISES is hot–well, warm–on their tails, gossip-loving priest LOU SLIPS is too eager to spill their secrets, and physically unassuming but intellectually advanced infant REESE ENTLYBORN may know more than she lets on. With a slew of sleuthing guests closing in, can Ronaldo shake off his irksome partner to carry out the hit and earn his coveted mobster fedora once and for all?
