Plot

[edit]

Clark and Ellen Griswold (Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo) are driving their Wagon Queen Family Truckster to visit their son Rusty and his family, who are spending their vacation by renting a beach house. Clark and Ellen make a detour for the night at the Le Grand Connard, a very sophisticated hotel. Clark begins seeing a brunette beauty around the hotel and is instantly attracted. After having mis-communications with the receptionist at the front desk (Robert Stephenson), Clark and Ellen finally get into their room, the Napoleon suite, which turns out to be very small. The adjacent rooms are also close enough for the guest next door, Doug, to hear every move that goes on inside their room.

While Ellen talks to Rusty (Travis Greer) and his wife and daughter through the web cam, Clark's genitals accidentally become visible on the web cam because of the small shower. Clark and Ellen decide to spend the night having a fancy dinner in the hotel restaurant but are told that it is booked due to a "Shout Yourself Thin" seminar going on at the same time. The two try to order room service but to no avail. Clark later fries an egg on the flat iron. As the two leave, they notice they are being charged for Internet, phone calls, etc. They are most likely charged for not buying towels from the receptionist. Clark and Ellen leave the hotel to visit Rusty and his family. Once there, Clark spots the brunette "hot girl" he saw at the hotel. He also sees a towel shaped like a goose, like the one the receptionist was trying to sell.
