The O'Brien family are new in town. An ordinary family - well, almost. Roy O' Brien is a little different - he's a cartoon! Roy and Becky have not been getting along lately; in fact, there have been numerous arguments.

Maura and Bill will have two days of blissful tranquillity while Roy and Becky will experience all the joys of nature. Things couldn't have worked out better - or could they?
