Mr. Bean in Room 426

Mr. Bean decides to stay at the Queens Hotel for a bank holiday. He parks his Mini at the foot of the entrance stairs and fights with a bellboy over his suitcase, mistaking him for a thief, although he later trusts the bellboy with his steering wheel to move his Mini to a parking spot. As Bean checks in, a quiet man checks in as well and Bean tries to beat the man to his hotel room, but the man gets to the lift before him. In retaliation, Bean runs up the staircase and stops the lift on every floor. He almost succeeds in entering his room first but struggles to unlock his door and the man ultimately enters his own room first.

Once inside his room, Bean toys with his new surroundings in several different ways, such as flicking the light switch on and off, making a call on the telephone, jumping on the bed, testing the remote control's signal range, and drilling holes in the wall to hang pictures. He then decides to have a bath but realises his room does not have a bathroom. Bean then hears running water in room 425 and learns that it has an en suite bathroom. After the man in room 425 leaves, he uses his drill to cut a large hole in the bathroom wall. The vibration travels all the way down to the lobby, prompting the manager to investigate. Just as he knocks on the door to Bean's room, the man in room 425 complains that he cannot get the door open. The manager futilely tries to turn the handle and apologises to the man, suggesting that it may be jammed. It turns out that Bean has locked the door and is taking a bath. Once he is finished, he hides the hole with his wardrobe and the shower curtain.

At dinnertime, Bean tries to beat his neighbour to the dining room, only to find that the lift is out of order. He goes to take the stairs but gets stuck behind a slow-moving elderly woman.[2] He climbs onto the opposite side of the banister to get past her but ends up behind an equally slow-moving elderly man with two walking sticks. Now stuck between the two with insufficient space to repeat the same tactic, Bean is forced to go down slowly.

Once he reaches the restaurant, Bean cheats his way to the front of the queue and proceeds to take whatever food his neighbour is taking from the buffet, albeit double the quantity. He then sits down next to his neighbour and gluttonously eats whatever the neighbour is eating at a certain time. When the neighbour starts to eat his oysters, Bean gobbles all of them down, but the neighbour notices an odd smell coming from his oysters and asks the waiter about it. The waiter says that they have gone off and apologises to the neighbour. Bean realises that he has just consumed rotten oysters and begins to feel nauseous.[3]

That night, upon waking up from a nightmare depicting the neighbour and the waiter forcing him to consume rotten oysters, Bean feels hot and undresses. He is about to go back to sleep when he hears loud music coming from room 427, forgetting that he was nude, Bean goes outside, knocks on the door and shushes loudly. The music stops and he walks back to his room, but his door closes and locks itself, leaving him trapped outside his room naked. Bean covers himself with door signs and runs for the stairs, but finds the same elderly lady there, so he heads back to the corridor and enters the lift.

Upon reaching the lobby, Bean sneaks into the manager's workspace as the manager speaks to Danny La Rue, who is performing at the hotel. Bean hides inside La Rue's suitcase before the porter arrives to take it out to his car. Mr. Bean then shows up at the counter in drag and asks for the key to room 426. As the manager looks for it, La Rue confronts Bean for stealing his dress and yanks an earring off of Bean's ear.
