Earlovi rodiče udělali už před časem nad nezdárným synem kříž, a tak se rozhodne jejich důvěru a lásku získat zpět tím, že otci pomůže vyhrát ve volbách funkci starosty…
Natürlich steht auch Earls eigener Vater Carl auf seiner Liste der wiedergutzumachenden Missetaten. Carl hatte vor vielen Jahren für das Bürgermeisteramt kandidiert - und die Wahl vor allem deshalb verloren, weil sein Sohn ein stadtbekannter Tunichtgut war. Aber nun, da Earl sich gebessert hat, will er seinen Dad unbedingt davon überzeugen, wieder anzutreten. Doch Carl Hickey will davon nichts wissen, wie von seinem missratenen Sohn überhaupt. Deshalb beschliesst Earl, sich als Wahlhelfer seines Dads auszugeben und ihn ohne dessen Einverständnis für die Kandidatur anzumelden. Als Vater Hickey dann erleben muss, wie sein von politischem Talent gänzlich unbeleckter Sohn bei einer Fernsehdebatte katastrophal untergeht, hält es ihn nicht mehr auf dem Sessel.
Earl tries to cross of number four off his list “Blew dad’s chance to be elected mayor”. Four years earlier, Carl Hickey ran for mayor to redirect a proposed airplane traffic route over his house and away from the wealthy part of town. Earl unfortunately ruins any chances of his father winning when caught in on tape assaulting a police officer. Earl must now help his father get elected and mend his relationship with his father.

He tries to explain, she curses at him and then her no-legged, but fitted with prosthetic legs, boyfriend runs after him, and as we know the Hickey Boys aren't that fast, so he catches up with him and beats him with a sign which he takes as a hint from "Karma" that he should be somewhere else that day. He thinks about that while getting beaten with a sign which says "Marty Park for Mayor". Which brings him to Number 4 on his list: "Blew Dad's Chance to get elected Mayor." For this you have to know that Earls father always complained about things and never did anything about it. But when they put the airplane route right above his neighborhood he decided to run for Mayor. In the course of that you see Earl and his brother always getting into trouble, first as children and then as young adults and their father always bailing them out of jail. But then he stopped bailing Earl out. But his opponent used the bad sons, more so Earl than Randy against him and thereby causing him to lose the election. They didn't talk since then. Well, so much for the past. Now, trying to make things right, Earl signs him up to run for Mayor again. And even finds new voters to register. But when, due to Randy's fault, the Voter Registrations are flying out of the Car and due to a misunderstanding with the Police while trying to pick up the
