Things are about to go haywire at the Royal Athenian Hotel
When a crafty Bellhop and a dependable Concierge attempt to reunite the discordant bosses of the Royal Athenian Hotel, their secret plans set off a chain of events that sweep up a quarrelsome foursome, an odd group of entertainers and both bosses into a night of joyful chaos.

As the sun shines upon the lusciously located Royal Athenian Hotel, Bellhop Puck and Concierge Fari begrudgingly prepare for a shared night shift. Ron and Ania Royal, the Hotel's effervescent owners, make a show of their martial discord as they head to their divided suites. Secretly shaken by the realisation that this fight might indeed be the couple's last, and the end of the Royal Athenian as they know it, Puck and Fari each determine to reunite the Royals... but how will they do it?
Meanwhile, a squabble amongst the corporate retreat guests threatens their bland balance. While Mia has been pursued by Lance, her dreamboat, and Demi, her nightmare, Helen has been pursuing the detached Demi. Tired of his employee's overt flirtations, the boss threatens them with dismissal if their romantic intentions appear during this working weekend. But that doesn't stop the troublesome foursome from planning some clandestine evening encounters. Helen's relentless pursuit of Demi even attracts the attention of Puck and Fari. Puck, convinced of the Hotel's ability to coerce romance out of anyone, bets with Fari that this odd couple will be smooching by sunrise.
Meanwhile, the haphazard “King's Players” have their first meeting on the fringes of the Hotel's grandiose grounds. With a last minute cancellation putting their premier performance for the corporate guests only twenty four hours away, lead actor, Nick Bottom, has one night to become a convincing magician.
Meanwhile, Fari overhears the dashing Chef discuss his exotic addition to the menu, a rare mushroom which is also a powerful aphrodisiac. Imagining that the mystical mushroom will melt Ron's icy heart, Fari sets a secret plan into motion.
Meanwhile, Puck peruses his stock of pilfered pharmaceuticals to assure his own secret plan will work. As evening falls, Puck's spiked champagne and Fari's mushroom laden tarts make their way to the Royal's suites. But Ron offers his surprise tarts to Ania and her party guests, unknowingly double dosing them all with a touch of euphoria.
Puck sends more spiked champagnes to the naughty foursome, hoping that some chemical assistance will assure he wins his bet. While two glasses arrive at Lance and Mia's secret suite, Helen uses the other two to invite herself into Demi's room. But it's not long before a chaotic exchange of champagnes puts Lance and Demi into a psychedelic dreamland, where the only object of their desires is Helen.
Ania tours her intoxicated party around the Hotel while Ron keeps a suspicious eye on her from the shadows. The King's Players rehearsal proves nothing short of disastrous, but when party and Players cross paths, Ania's inebriated eyes fix firmly on Bottom.
Lance and Demi's turntable pursuit of Helen takes them out onto the grounds, sweeping up a confounded Mia. Ania showers Bottom with all the libations at her disposal, as Ron's veiled jealousy begins to surface. When the accidental chaos Puck and Fari created becomes quite public, they determine to work together to set everything right by sunrise.
