Plot
Living in a treehouse, three boys (Xavier Mosley, Sean Giambrone and Tucker Albrizzi) sit at a table. One named Jake gives an oath and the other two, Lawrence and Gillan take it.

One year later, Jake is the only one still at the treehouse. Lawrence and Gillan were sent to separate orphanages. He decides to bust them out. He first gets Lawrence, disguised as a man. Then, they get Gillan by sneaking him out. The boys are reunited.

They return to their treehouse and catch up on each other. Later, they get a letter from the elderly Melvin Mendaler (Larry David) saying that they are invited to a funeral of his late brother. They go to the elder man's home, though they do not have the knowledge where he lives. They go to Florence Sara Richard (Jay Livings), Lawrence's old girlfriend for directions, though, they obliviously instead talk about how long they have met. Later, they remember their predicament. She shows them the back of the letter showing his address. They later arrive at Melvin's house, where the elder invites them in. He gives them a box holding a chocolate cake and the information that the funeral is at San Francisco, California. Melvin gives them a week.

They head off to San Francisco on a handmade sidecar (that is from a bicycle and a red wagon attached together). Meanwhile in Los Angeles, a woman named Sylvia (Kate McKinnon), the spoiled and rich millionaire lives in a mansion who has a lover Jak (Seth MacFarlane), he mostly visits her any time. The boys arrive for directions. After getting a map from Sylvia, her and Jak become curious about their box. After the boys leave and continue the trip, they decide to follow them.

Later that night, they sleep at a rest stop, where they tell stories and look at the stars. The next day, they continue the trip. Jak and Sylvia drive after them and one of them start climbing out of the car and jump them, though, Gillan throws out a banana peel out and makes their car go off the road, foiling the plan they had. After several backfiring attempts following and trying to steal the box, they try a different plan: shooting them down.

On day three of their trip, the boys encounter a truck stop. While in there, they order a pie, in which later it causes a food fight to occur. It stops at the end, where the boys get their sidecar stolen and their map, which was in the wagon. They continue the trip on foot.

After walking for countless hours, they encounter an abandoned motorcycle. After driving non-stop for 19 hours, they run out of gas. Now, they start to hitchhike. A van stops and the driver takes them on their trip to Comic-Con in San Diego. After they arrive, they interrupt announcements in panels, attendances, etc. Some time later, the convention closes at night and the boys hide and wait until morning. The next morning, the boys wake up, then got out from their hiding spots and get separated by many crowded people.

The unexpected Sylvia and Jak arrive at the convention to kill the boys. When the boys encounter them both and Sylvia with a gun, they split up and run. They go after Jake and Gillan and catch them in an empty panel. When Lawrence finds Gillan and Jake, he gets joined with them. Jake opens the box, revealing the cake. When the furious Sylvia starts to shoot them, the C.I.A. arrives. They have been following them since they left the diner. In the aftermath, Sylvia and Jak are arrested and the boys get a ride to San Fransisco by the C.I.A.

After being dropped off to the neighborhood in San Fransisco, they enter the house, and no one was there. However, a laughing Melvin has pranked the boys into thinking that the funeral was real and that he had a brother for payback. After all the traveling and suffering they went to, they become irked from his gag. They leave with the cake they have had since their trip, and encounter and retrieve their stolen sidecar. Then, they see a bus going off to Corpus Christi. They attach their sidecar to the bus with rope, then the bus takes off and takes them home.

Riding home at night, Lawrence sings "99 Bottles of Milk on the Wall" and Gillan and Jake join in; Now at dawn, Gillan wakes up Jake and Lawrence that they're home; When the boys arrive at the treehouse, Jake thinks on redecorating.

In jail, Sylvia plans escaping with shovels. Jak says, "What shovels?", which makes Sylvia think of a new plan;
