Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Outraged at the high tax assessment levied on the Shady Rest Hotel, Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) is determined to outwit the IRS. To this end, Joe goes to great length to "downgrade" the hotel, turning the lobby into a shambles. Alas, Joe's destructive rampage occurs just as Kate (Bea Benaderet) is trying to improve the looks of the Shady Rest in hopes of attracting the convention trade!
