"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Hotel" is the 12th episode of the first season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. After accidentally destroying a painting, Zack and Cody discover an old newspaper article describing a treasure left in the hotel by mobster Alphonse "Hot Peppers" DeLeo in 1938. Soon, the twins, Maddie, Esteban, London, Muriel, and Arwin are all turning the hotel upside down to find it. The treasure was then revealed to be Muriel, Hot Pepper's true love.
Story
Zack, Cody, and Esteban are playing football in the hallway, and they break a painting. While talking to Mr. Moseby in the lobby, Arwin makes the painting explode, but Cody spies a treasure map on the painting itself. Apparently, a gangster named Hot Pepper hid treasure in the hotel long ago. The twins start to find the treasure, with the help of Maddie, London, Esteban, Muriel, and Arwin. The treasure is not found until Muriel remembers something important: The treasure is actually Muriel herself, as she was the true love of the gangster.
