Two freeloading siblings find out over a disasterous family dinner that their uncle has died and he's left them a motel, and it may or may not be a stroke of luck in this horror-comedy series.

Although the motel turned out to be a dump, Jack and Laurie still want the deed. They learn that in order to claim their inheritance, they must stay one night in the Ship's Helm Motel.

Jack and Laurie split up into their own rooms for the night. However, they soon find out that the motel is a lot more than they bargained for and the night takes an interesting turn.

Jack and Laurie decide to abandon the Ship's Helm Motel. Sid insists this isn't an option and explains the ominous nature of his work as their uncle's lawyer. Jack and Laurie attempt to lure their friends to the hotel for a party.

Preparations continue for a party, despite no RSVP from the guests. Eric has found the source of the pool clog, but it's not what was expected. Jack and Laurie discover a kind guest who may be the only other normal person at the Ship's Helm.
