A moose head to be hung, a fire drill to be conducted, and German guests are all a bit much for Basil to handle while Sybil's in hospital.
With Sybil in hospital for a few days to have an operation for an ingrown toenail, Basil is left on his own at the hotel to cope with a group of German tourists and the need for the regular semi-annual fire drill. He's not having much success with either. The guests confuse the burglar alarm with the fire alarm and when Manuel does start a fire in the kitchen, no one pays attention. Basil suffers a rather severe blow to the head leading him to insult his German guests by making constant references to the war.—garykmcd
Basil is left to run the hotel on his own while Sybil has an ingrown toenail removed. He quickly makes a mess of things, resulting in him suffering a concussion. He insists on continuing to manage the hotel, despite his condition, and ends up offending a group of guests from Germany.—Anonymous
