After Michael accidentally ruins some brownies that belonged to the camp's meanest kid, Thud Mackie, he needs to do something or face a beating. After all of his attempts to smuggle brownies into camp are foiled by Ug, he decides the best thing to do is leave camp. With everyone's help, he creates a video that exaggerates the horrors of camp to send to his grandparents. The video plan works, but Michael doesn't really want to leave, leaving him with a choise: stay with his friends at camp and be pounded by Thud, or leave.
