Eddie Johnson, played by [Randy Quaid], and his family are trying to start fresh several years after leaving the Nevada bomb-test site. Eddie now works at the Chicago Atomic Testing Agency, where his job involves measuring brain waves for any signs of radioactivity. Financial trouble lingers— the dirt farm is foreclosed and the RV is repossessed—so Audrey Griswold, played by [Dana Barron], takes them in along with Catherine Johnson, played by [Miriam Flynn], their dog Snots, and Clark III, known as Third, played by [Jake Thomas]. The rest of their children stay with their grandmother. Eddie hopes this new assignment will bring stability, but his optimism is fragile, especially as Third watches his father wrestle with the uncertainties of employment.
