As the rain pours down outside, Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) tries to figure out how to fix the leaking roof on the Bundy family home. Meanwhile, his wife Peggy (Katey Sagal) is worried about the damage the storm might do to their house, while their children Kelly (Christina Applegate) and Bud (David Faustino) are preoccupied with their own personal dramas.

With the Bundy household in disarray, Al hatches a plan to fix the roof himself, despite the fact that he has no experience with repairs of this kind.
