The story takes place at the fictional St Gregory Hotel in New Orleans, owned by Warren Trent . The hotel is in financial trouble. Hotel manager Peter McDermott involves himself in the overtures of two different buyers. He also takes a romantic interest in Jeanne Rochefort , an upper-class French guest, and deals with a wide range of routine problems,... including a faulty elevator. Jeanne is the traveling companion of one of the buyers, Curtis O'Keefe . He intends to renovate and "modernize" the hotel, with conveyor belts carrying luggage automatically around the building like it were some sort of modern airport terminal, and even presenting the customer's bill on a conveyor belt. Among the guests at the hotel are The Duke and Duchess of Lanbourne , a wealthy couple hiding out after fleeing from a hit-and-run accident in their car.
