When the Griffins win a trip to Maine at Peter's company picnic, they decide to invite their friends on the vacation. Tensions run high and things soon spiral out of control when the cabin burns down.

Peter takes his family to the Brewery Company Picnic, where Preston announces a grand prize for the team egg toss minigame: a five-night stay at his cabin in Mooseattackee, Maine. Peter and Lois cheat by using a hard-boiled egg, and upon seeing how much room is in the cabin, Peter gets the idea to bring along all of their friends as well as their families, despite Lois' skepticism. Though everyone is initially excited, tensions soon rise when Peter takes the fall for Lois clogging the main toilet, and Quagmire's daily itinerary results in Peter missing the bear show he wanted to see at Art's Trading Post. When the show's venue closes down for good, an angry Peter tells the truth about Lois' defecation, kicking off a series of arguments among the group.

Amidst all the chaos, Peter burns Quagmire's itinerary sheet, inadvertently burning down part of the cabin. Given his hurtful comments from earlier, everyone, including his family, is too upset to help bail him out, and leaves him at the cabin by himself. His plans to try and cover up the damage fall flat, and are only complicated when Preston drives up, realizing he only left the group with three towels and not fifteen. Fortunately, everyone else returns to apologize after hearing that Peter was the one who insisted they come along in the first place. The group is unsuccessful in repairing the cabin, but Preston turns out to not be upset, as he hates Maine and was only using the address to open a shell company.

At the end of the episode, Lois reveals that the whole story was a dream, brought on by Peter falling unconscious due to a stress heart attack at the egg toss.
