A lighthearted, farcical comedy built on the chaos of an overbooked hotel filled with eccentric characters, secret agents, and munchkins during WWII-era Los Angeles.

In World War II era Los Angeles, the manager of the Culver Hotel leaves his nephew in charge for a weekend. The nephew changes the name to the Hotel Rainbow and overbooks with royalty, assassins, secret agents, Japanese tourists, and munchkins. Secret Service agent Bruce Thorpe and casting director Annie Clark find romance amidst the intrigue and confusion.
