Они приехали в отель, так как все они собираются подать в суд на Дэвида на его новую книгу - «Курорт», персонажи которого, очевидно, основаны на Джордане и гостях. Практичный шутник Дэвид разыгрывает над ними трюки, пока его не сбросят с высокой башни отеля, где Сьюзен Уорренфилд, менеджер и владелец отеля, видят падение, а затем Джордана на башне, заставляя полицию арестовывать Джордана. Хотя Перри и Делла пытаются решить главную загадку, Пол пытается выяснить, кто пытается отпугнуть Сьюзен от отеля. Может ли это быть призраком или более земным гостем?
