In the episode, Bob Newhart's character, Dick Loudon, and his wife, Joanna, face the possibility of losing their inn. After a series of comedic misadventures involving the eccentric guests and staff of the inn, Dick is hit on the head with a golf ball and wakes up to find himself in bed with Emily, played by Suzanne Pleshette, Newhart's wife from his previous series, "The Bob Newhart Show".
