In an effort to avoid spending time with his parents, Gary races off to save a group of ducks and draws the attention of inquisitive Sun Times photojournalist, Miguel Diaz. When Gary pleads with Miguel not to run the photo he took of him - so his parents won't find out that he's intentionally ducking them-the photographer becomes more curious. He realizes that Gary's name keeps popping up in connection with many rescues. Unable to shake his folks, Gary lets them tag along on a routine save at a bank that escalates when Lois and Bemie are taken hostage. Under the suspicious eyes of Miguel, Gary must avert disaster by dealing with the nervous robber and his suffocating parents, who confront him during the hostage crisis about why he keeps avoiding them.
