Gorb the gnome operates an elevator in an upscale hotel. When three businessmen get stuck in his lift, their only chance of escape is to work together. But with a clashing of personalities, that proves difficult. Gorb has a plan. Will his tale about the fantastic kingdom of Eggslandia be enough to inspire the group to collaborate and find a way out? The Elevator and its story within a story share a lesson in the importance of teamwork.
