About
Hotel manager Robert Grant is forced by his boss to postpone his family vacation when a hotel critic checks in. Trouble is, the critic is really a villainous jewel thief with an orangutan assistant named Dunston. When Dunston gets loose and tries to escape a life of crime -- aided by Robert's sons -- havoc, hijinks and lots of laughs abound!
Can a hotel manager protect his family and a jewel thief's primate accomplice from a chaotic series of mishaps? This slapstick romp relies on pure physical comedy and the unpredictable energy of a very real orangutan.
