A title card creates the setting as the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. As Bilko and Hall enter the hotel elevator, Col. Hall requests the 17th floor. At the present time, at the time this episode was telecast, and at the time of its construction in 1925, the Mayflower Hotel had a total of 10 floors.
Claude Harmon calls Colonel Hall by his rank despite not being told it.
