this nice American family of four goes to Paris, France on vacation. They check into a hotel and go sightseeing and all the other touristy things. A few days into their (until then) pleasant, normal vacation, they go for lunch at a cafe. They return to find that their hotel room has been broken into. Fortunately, it seems to have been a rather surgical strike and very few of their possessions are stolen or even out of place. Two displacements however, strike the family as odd: their four toothbrushes are strewn around the sink, and their camera is set out in the open on one of the beds. The hotel management is apologetic and blames the bellboy. The bellboy, who had seemed
so nice, if unnervingly suave, to the family upon their arrival, had just quit his job on the morning of
the break-in.

The Americans get the missing portion of their American Express Travelers' Cheques refunded,
check into a new hotel, wind up the tail end of their trip, and head back to America. (or alternately,
nothing in the room is disturbed or stolen. They have only returned from an evening on the town to
find the camera and toothbrushes on the bed. They shrug and continue the remaining small portion of their vacation and fly home) In America, they develop the pictures in the camera. Half are of the
family in front of the Eiffel Tower, but the other half of the pictures in the roll feature various views of the bellboy, smiling deliriously, with the four family toothbrushes stuck up his bootie.
