When Dunston the orangutan flees his malevolent master, he quickly turns a five-star hotel into a three-ring circus. Joining Dunston in his madcap antics is the hotel manager's son, Kyle, who rescues the young orangutan from his captor.

In this rollicking update of the Dumas classic, the descendants of the original Musketeers may have exchanged horses for motorcycles, but they still fight injustice wherever they find it. When a mob boss kidnaps a young boy, they ride into action. But it's only with the help of an unofficial fourth Musketeer (Cheech Marin) that they can save the day. David Hasselhoff, Thomas Gottschalk and Alison Doody round out the cast.

Real-life siblings David and Peter Paul play two brawny twins, one a burglar and one a cop, who form an unlikely alliance to track down the killer of the cop brother's partner and also expose the leader of a diamond smuggling organization. But will the constantly quibbling brothers kill each other before they accomplish their task? John Paragon directs this broad comedy also featuring Roddy McDowall and David Carradine.

As manager of the Majestic Hotel, Robert Grant is trained to handle the most chaotic situations with ease. He deftly juggles the needs of his staff, his clients, his two sons, and his cold-hearted boss, Mrs. Dubrow, without breaking a sweat. There's nothing he can't handle. That is, until Dunston checks in. Forced into a life of crime, Dunston is an orangutan and the captive partner of the low-life jewel thief, Lord Rutledge. When Dunston flees his malevolent master, he quickly turns a five-star hotel into a three-ring circus. Joining Dunston in his madcap antics is Robert's young son, Kyle, who rescues the young orangutan from Lord Rutledge. Together, Dunston and Kyle make some merry mischief in the glamorous hostelry, much to the chagrin of the hotel's frantic staff and befuddled guests, as well as a determined but inept animal control officer named La Farge.
