9

In Florence, Keaton searches for Hiroshi Matsui, a Japanese exchange student studying at the Masaccio Art Institute of Higher Learning, in order for him to sign his deceased mother's will as the beneficiary. With Matsui's sudden disappearance, Keaton is told to look for a man named Pietro Moralli. At Moralli's apartment, Keaton learns that Moralli offered to hide Matsui there due to being involved in a political movement, but Matsui has gone missing. Keaton secretly takes a painting knife left at the apartment. He eventually encounters two detectives, who believe that Matsui is involved with a man named Francesco Meda, a terrorist from the Red Brigades. Moralli follows Keaton to the ruins of Serravalle Duomo on the outskirts of Florence, where Moralli attempts to stab Keaton with a cinquedea. Meanwhile, the detectives learn that Moralli and Meda are the same person, in which he is targeting Matsui for the insurance claim. Keaton defends with the painting knife, but he is unexpectedly knocked out by Matsui. Meda urges Matsui to sign the will worth 400 million lira over to him. With Keaton trapped inside the ruins, he uses his survival skills to escape. When Matsui refuses to sign the will over to Meda, Keaton arrives in time and defeats Meda in combat. The next day, after Meda is arrested, Matsui tells Keaton that his mother supported his ambition for painting. However, Matsui was unable to finish a painting of the ruins as a gift to his mother.
