Synopsis:
Bugs talks Elmer into buying the "Bates Hotel" in Muddville - sight unseen. They find it to be in disrepair, and unable to attract guests. To remedy the situation - and get himself off the hook for the bad advice he gave Elmer - Bugs starts a rumor of a hidden fortune somewhere in the hotel. Opportunistic treasure hunters flock to the place in droves - and begin tearing it apart.

Notes:
This story, referring to the "Bates Hotel" (not "Bates Motel"), was published in 1958, two years before the release of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960). Perhaps the author read the novel upon which the film was based.
