What happens

Club Paradise is a 1986 American comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Robin Williams, Twiggy, Peter O'Toole and Jimmy Cliff. Set in a fictional Caribbean banana republic, it follows a group of vacationers' attempts to create a luxury resort from a seedy nightclub, and the series of events that take place. The film reunites director and cowriter Ramis with his SCTV co-stars Andrea Martin, Eugene Levy, and Joe Flaherty, and includes additional SCTV performers Rick Moranis and Robin Duke. They play supporting roles in the film, as does cowriter Brian Doyle-Murray, a former SCTV staff writer. It was the final film of actor Adolph Caesar, who died in March 1986, four months before the film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
