A mouse finds its way into the Bundy home. Too manly and proud to hire an exterminator, Al sets on hugging the mouse, even if it means he has to tear the house down and damage it to shreds.
The Bundys are a stereotypical 'white trash' American family. Al is a shoe salesman who is fond of frequently reliving his doubtful 15 seconds of fame on the football field. Al is terrified of the all-to-frequent amorous advances his ditsy wife Peggy, a woman who must spend most of Al's wages at the salon and the mall. They have two children: Kelly, the stunning but superficial party animal, and Bud, who is too wrapped up in himself to realize his goal of 'scoring' with a girl.
