Chet Ripley (Candy) gaat met zijn gezin op vakantie in een natuurgebied, maar dan komen zijn irritante zwager Roman (Aykroyd) en diens vreemde vrouw en kinderen opdagen. Zijn zwager vindt dat het gebied beter als afvaldump kan worden gebruikt. De twee kunnen elkaar niet uitstaan, maar willen dat niet laten merken.
