Duct Tape Forever

Robert Stiles' luxury limo gets trapped in a sinkhole on the Possum Lodge grounds. Red Green and his friends attempt to pull it free but instead shove it into the lake, triggering a lawsuit against the Lodge. The presiding judge imposes a $10,000 fine that must be paid within 30 days, putting the Lodge at risk of losing ownership.

The court order establishes the $10,000 fine and a deadline to pay. The stakes are high: if the amount isn't paid, ownership of the Lodge reverts to the town. The ruling drives the Lodge members to seek a way to raise funds quickly.

Harold Green pleads with the judge to reconsider the deadline. The judge shortens the grace period from 30 days to 10, increasing the urgency for the Lodge to find money. The decision adds pressure and nudges the Lodge toward a bold fundraising plan.

Harold learns of an upcoming duct tape sculpture contest sponsored by 3M in Minnesota, offering a substantial prize. The Lodge sees a chance to win enough money to cover the fine. They decide to aim for victory with a creative, enormous tape sculpture.

With scavenged materials and hundreds of rolls of duct tape, Red, Harold, and Dalton Humphrey begin constructing a giant goose. The project becomes a team effort and a symbol of their hopes to win the prize. They craft the centerpiece to be bold and eye-catching for the contest.

Red, Harold, and Dalton hitch the massive goose to a trailer behind the Possum Van and head toward Minnesota. Tompkins and Deputy Dawn follow, hoping to thwart their plans. The road trip becomes a tense race against time to reach the contest before Stiles blocks them.

Tompkins and Dawn trail the trio, but Red and the Lodge's crew push ahead with stubborn determination. Dawn begins to be smitten with Harold, while Red is drawn to Dalton's indifferent daughter Mandy. The pursuit contends with stumbles and small victories on the road.

Tompkins digs a trench across the road with a backhoe, attempting to stop the convoy. Red points out that the cruiser is now on the other side of the trench, so they lift the vehicle and drive over it as a makeshift bridge, allowing the goose-bearing van to continue toward the contest. The escape turns into an improvisational win for the Lodge.

Stiles dismisses Tompkins and Dawn and kidnaps Harold, intent on trading him for the goose. He claims the Lodge ruined his mother's life and wants to leverage Harold's capture to extract a deal. The plan exposes Stiles' fixation on control and money.

Red and Harold escape with the goose as the Lodge members steal the cars used by Stiles' men. A synchronized plan sets in motion to retrieve Harold and the goose before Stiles can complete the exchange. The moment marks a turning point in the confrontation between the Lodge and Stiles.

Stiles' pursuit leads to a road explosion when a can of gasoline ignites from a gunshot from a pursuing bus. The blast launches the goose onto the contest site, where it lands perfectly atop a model CN Tower. The improbable placement wins third prize and the lodge money needed to pay the fine.

Back at the Lodge, the crew celebrates their win, and Red makes Harold a lifetime charter member, presenting him with a lodge vest. The vest's back bears the playful but revealing word DOOFUS, adding humor to the moment. The victory solidifies Harold's place in the Lodge family.

Stiles and his mother reach a reconciliation, softening his fixation on wealth. Dawn pulls Harold aside and kisses him, signaling a budding romance. The moment is punctuated by Edgar Montrose's cake, whose candles have been swapped for sticks of dynamite by accident.

As everyone flees the cake catastrophe, the explosion damages the Lodge and leaves a shaken crew scrambling for repair. Red quips about needing duct tape to fix the damage, restoring the series' favorite joke. The closing image emphasizes the ever-present reliance on duct tape in their world.
