Default Self Inflicted Wound

I have a 1970's house. A few years ago while cleaning the basement floor
drain I accidentally kicked the cleanout plug into the drain. It sank and
couldn't be retrieved. In the summer I now have to leave the drain cleanout
partially open to allow the air conditioner condensate to drain. This
sometimes creates odor problems on windy days. Is there a recommended
process for removing an obstruction in a floor drain? I'm guessing that
this is not an unusual circumstance.

It calls for the creative use of the most ubiquitous
tool ever invented by man. The coat hanger. I'm sure
you could bend it into a shape that could help you
retrieve your wayward cap.
