In this episode, Bam and his friends decide to play a prank on his Uncle Don Vito, who is overweight. They set him up with an exercise bicycle in Bam's backyard so that he can lose some weight. However, instead of encouraging him to exercise, they start offering him a ton of food and drinks while he's cycling. They also spray him with a hose and throw objects at him.
Meanwhile, Bam's dad, Phil, is trying to get his yard in order, but he keeps getting interrupted by Bam and his friends. At one point, they pretend to be filmmakers and start shooting a movie in Phil's backyard, complete with fake explosions and car chases.
Later on, Bam and his crew head to a local convenience store to purchase some supplies for their next prank. Bam sends one of his friends dressed in a giant rooster costume to the store to cause chaos. The rooster starts throwing food items around and chasing people. When the police arrive, Bam and his friends find a clever way to avoid getting arrested.
Towards the end of the episode, Bam and his friends continue the prank on Uncle Don Vito by giving him a giant sandwich to eat while he's still cycling. The sandwich turns out to be full of gross ingredients and Uncle Don Vito starts feeling sick. The guys laugh and make fun of him, but later on, Bam takes him to a local restaurant to try some healthier food.
