But things aren’t going well for the Spitz’s new business. Their business is struggling, and they need better clientele. Honestly, they need a break from work. Luckily for them, their good billionaire friend, the Maharajah, invites them to his private island to celebrate his upcoming nuptials. The Spitz see this as a weekend getaway where they can relax, but once they arrive on the island, they quickly find themselves at the center of an international investigation when the Maharajah is kidnapped.
