Know what this is about? Be the first one to add a plot.

Larry Appleton gets a surprise when his distant naive cousin Balki shows up all the way from the island of Mypos expecting to live with him.

When Larry attempts to teach the good-natured Balki not to let others take advantage of him, it threatens Larry's chance to get a picture that could help his career.

Larry teaches Balki about dating American women...not surprisingly, it turns out better for Balki than for Larry.

Balki wants to obtain his "membership card to the American dream"--a driver's license--and Twinkacetti bets Larry $50 that he won't get it. So Larry offers to teach Balki to drive, but is hesitant to actually hand over the keys to his car.

Balki gets a lesson in banking, but has to learn it the hard way when Larry doesn't have the patience to explain it properly.

Balki tries to cheer up Larry, who is depressed on his 24th birthday because he has not achieved the goals he set as part of his "master plan".
