Plot: Carl is a widow who is being pressured to sell his house. He is forced to move to a retirement community when he hits a construction worker over the head when his mailbox gets broken. He makes his house into a kind of flying blimp by attaching thousands of helium filled ballons to it. He plans to go to South America to live in Paradise Falls, which is what he and his wife had planned on doing before she passed away. Carl meets Russell, a Wilderness Explorer, who wants to assist Carl in some way so he can get a badge for helping the elderly. Carl sends him on a wild goose chase, and releases the balloons to set out for South America. What he doesn't plan on is Russell still being on his front porch while they are flying in the air! Not being able to stop now, Carl and Russell get to Paradise Falls, but adventure awaits them when they get there.
