When Uncle Ernesto does arrive, the kids quickly realize why their parents were so nervous- he's a con man! Uncle Ernesto promises to fix the Russo family's leaky roof, but in reality he's only interested in swindling them out of their money.

While Alex continues to believe in Uncle Ernesto's good intentions, Justin quickly catches on to his schemes and starts to investigate. Soon, Justin realizes that Uncle Ernesto isn't just a con man- he's also a wizard!
