[edit] Plot
The famous National Lampoon's Vacation series returns, but this time, Cousin Eddie takes over. The story begins with Cousin Eddie at his latest workplace, a nuclear facility where he 'works' alongside a monkey. When Eddie finds out he is being fired in lieu of the monkey, he calls the monkey a name and it bites him. To convince him not to sue, the owner of the plant gives Eddie a free Christmas vacation to an island in the south Pacific. Audrey Griswold and Eddie's Uncle Nick join the family on the vacation, only to regret it, as the family gets shipwrecked with nobody to help him but Muka Laka Miki, an attractive islander. When the Tuttle family winds up trapped on a tropical island, however, Eddie manages to provide for everyone and prove himself a real man. The family pulls together and celebrates Christmas on the island. Shortly after they are rescued.
