Similar to its parent series, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the series depicts the antics and mischief the boys are constantly up to, as well as the adventures of Rani Oberoi, the privileged and ditzy heiress of the Oberoi business, Vineeta or Vinnie, the candy-counter girl, and Mr. Maan Singh, the strict and dutiful manager who often acts as a foil to Karan and Kabir's schemes.
