Along with his nephew Harold, local lodge members, and a few surprise guests, Red Green guides the audience through a series of humorous scenarios related to the grandstand construction.
The episode kicks off with a skit involving the infamous Possum Van, modified to fit the grandstand's vertical design. While attempting to elevate the van into position, the Lodge members discover that engineering challenges and gravity are not easily overcome.
