Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Making TV history as the first-ever American sitcom to film on location in mainland China, The Drew Carey Show takes this opportunity to dish up its most surrealistic episode to date. Pulling off the practical joke to end all practical jokes, Mimi (Kathy Kinney) manages to maroon a sleeping Drew (Drew Carey) on the Great Wall of China with no money or passport. As his friends wonder why Drew didn't show up for his scheduled business meeting in Winnipeg, our hero sells chickens and gives impromptu sock-puppet shows in order to pay his way to the American Embassy in Beijing, 200 miles away. Several disasters later, Drew's only hope for ever getting back to Cleveland hinges upon his rendition of "You Deserve a Break Today" at the Tiananmen Square McDonald's!
