[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A French Ambassador's daughter, Jolie, comes to the Tipton. Zack and Cody immediately fall for her. Since she could only speak French they ask Mr. Moseby to translate for them. Soon Cody wins the affection of Jolie but Zack gets the kiss from her! In the end Bob wins the girl, because he speaks French.

In the subplot Esteban tries to help London when a man tries to steal her purse but ends up on his back when the mugger knocks him out with it. London uses her martial arts training to subdue the crook but as a result Esteban feels less than a man. Later on London and Maddie get Arwin to attempt to steal Maddie's purse. Esteban finally jumps in to fight the crook only for London, Maddie, and Carey find out that Esteban is battling a real crook. In the end Esteban wins and his confidence is restored.
