The real criminals have been planting material on the bicycle being used to deliver the sandwiches. While the arrest is being made, the bike gets stolen, along with the evidence. Multiple things start happening and Joey is convinced the curse is working. Mick and Joey try to figure out which sandwich dropoff is the guilty party.   They spot the stolen bike and found out the kid riding it bought it from some Gypsies.  The basket is missing, so Joey and Mick go to look for it, thinking that's where the stolen discs are. Mick, Joey, and the girls get caught by the gypsies, then the real bad guy shows up to get the disc. Mick and Joey chase them down, catch the bad guys and get the discs back - rlh
