Spencer (Bob Saget) is a mild-mannered dad whose son Michael (Brian Bonsall) loves the outdoors and is on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout. But Spencer's plan to accompany the boy on a camping trip reveals how little this city-dwelling guy knows about roughing it. As his misguided attempt to bond with Michael falls hilariously apart, Spencer is forced to admit that the fourth-grader and his fellow scouts can manage just fine without his neuroses.
