Fawlty Towers由John Cleese和他当时的妻子Connie Booth共同创意并编剧，并且均出演主要角色。该剧集以Torquay一家小旅馆Fawlty Towers为背景，主要人物包括John Cleese饰演的旅馆主人，笨手笨脚、脾气糟糕、极度老派、市侩而且怕老婆到死的Basil Fawlty；爱唠叨、笑声可怕、能让比自己高一个半头的老公噤若寒蝉的旅馆女主人Sybil Fawlty；Connie Booth饰演的经常被搅进老板倒霉事的临时女侍Polly；以及Basil为了省钱而雇佣的、听不懂几句英文、经常遭老板拳脚相向的西班牙侍者兼小厮Manuel。由这四位经营的Fawlty Towers可想而知是经常陷入窘境难以自拔了，而旅馆的几位长住客人和各色过往人等则常常成为其中的牺牲品。
