Due to a sudden police sick out, the Stymingtons, Crenshaws and Stumps must insure that their neighborhood is a safe place by forming a neighborhood watch. Phil and an unenthused Stump go on patrol together and end up in a porto-potty joy-ride.
Just when the family thinks they've assimilated into the neighborhood, (even Stump has run out of insults) Clara's Uncle Leo, the ultimate pig, arrives at their doorstep and disrupts the entire neighborhood.
The Stymington Family settles in the town of Schlicter Falls.
