Disappointed with the weather in Naples, as well as with the rundown state of the city, the family journeys to the island of Capri where, in the lobby of their luxury hotel, the man dies. The remainder of the story captures the reaction of the hotel's wealthy clientele, as well as the indifference and hostility with which the staff treat the gentleman's body.
