The film is set in present day California, but the Munster family is still stuck in their pre-gothic monster lifestyle. Eddie Munster, who is entering middle school, has decided to try out for the basketball team. After making the team he has to talk his family into leaving the house for the first time in hundreds of years, so they can go support him on the court. The Munster family takes baby steps at first, only going to the outskirts of their community. The family becomes overwhelmed with how much the world has changed, and are not able to control their excitement. After scaring all the neighbors away, and nearly causing a county wide uproar, the Munster family decides to never leave home again. Marilyn Munster, the families human niece, decides to teach the Munsters how to act like regular humans and fit in. With basketball season only weeks away, Marilyn works hard to reshape the Munsters. Only two days remain, and the Munsters are ready to try again. Marilyn takes them to downtown Las Angeles, a place that she says that they "will surely fit in". After months of human exercises and a few costumes, the Munsters make it through town without being yelled at, frightening a child, or causing an unnecessary uproar. The first day of basketball camp arrives. The Munsters awkwardly arrive at the game in their Munster Koach (jokingly they still think its normal to drive a 1940 coffin mobile). The family sits with the other families in the bleacher area, and watches the basketball game. All goes well until the concession salesman starts making his away around the gym selling snacks. Herman blatantly stands up and orders 2 bat-pops, a small friedd lizard, and a large sewer water. Herman in the middle of the sentence bends over to ask the family if they want anything, and Lily quickly shouts "ohhh! I want a large intestinal candy roll. Make it bloody strawberry!". The entire gym turns and looks at the Munsters. Faces of fear, disgust, and confusion appear. Someone from the back of the gym yells, "Hey! That's that weird Munster family!". Another person quickly shouts, "Get'em!". Marilyn stops the other families. She explains that there is nothing wrong with her family, and all they want to do is come watch their son play basketball and enjoy each others company. She explains that they are no different than any of the other families, and that they should be treated just the same as they treat each other. The Munster family stands up and removes their costumes. The their families begin feeling sorry for them, and feel somewhat embarrassed. One man continues to show hate towards the Munsters throughout the rest of the game. With seconds left in the last quarter, Eddie scores the winning point. The crowd goes wild. All the families celebrate and apologize to the Munsters. Even the one man who still showed hate even apologized (because his son was on the winning team). Lessons to be learned: Always treat each other equally. Why basketball?: Al Lewis, the original "Grandpa", was also a basketball scout.
