When Zack and Cody hear the legend of the hotel's haunted room, they decide to spend the night there to see if the rumors are true. Soon their hotel friends drop by and a lonely night of ghost-watching turns into a full-on sance!

After the boys' friend Max chooses Zack over Cody to be her partner in a dance contest, Cody feels like he's never as good as his brother at anything. He tries all kinds of different things-including ventriloquism and magic-to figure out what his special talent is, but nothing sticks. Only when Zack sprains his ankle and Cody has to step in does Cody find out what he's really made of.
