When the Wilsons arrive at their vacation hotel and discover it's full, they decide to settle into the elevator. These amusingly oblivious oddballs welcome a series of bewildered hotel guests into their "mobile room" as they travel the floors. Evans reaps sly humor from what could have been a one-joke story, and even redeems the contrived ending, which finds the Wilsons cracking a kidnapping case.
