Kropotkin wants to tear down Mrs. Biscuits' home to build a football (soccer) stadium, and the girls want to stop him. The boys try to find the curse that prevents Kropotkin's team from winning any games. Kropotkin assumes that Biscuits is the curse, but she insists she's retired. Mildred discerns that Kropotkin's wife is the real curse. Mrs. Biscuits departs with the wife, Kropotkin gets to build his stadium, and the team has a chance to finally start winning. Shauna and Jack, who keep track of such things, judge that the girls have outshone the boys on this case.
