He's about to turn a Five Star Hotel into a three ring circus.
Hotel manager Robert Grant is forced by his boss to postpone his family vacation when a hotel critic checks in.

When Dunston gets loose and tries to escape a life of crime -- aided by Robert's sons -- havoc, hijinks and lots of laughs abound!
