A group of juvenile criminals is sent for vacation to Kamp Kikakee. The
clumsy Ernest (the late Jim Varney) has to care for them, although he doesn't
even know how to take care of himself. The other children at the camp show
enmity against them, but the group knows very well how to defend themselves.
They do also help the Indian owner of the camp when a brutal mining corporation
wants to tear down the camp to mine a rare mineral.
