1. Knock Knock, Who's There?
Larry Appleton, who's moved to Chicago to become a photojournalist, takes a job at a corner discount store run by his landlord, Mr. Twinkacetti. One night his distant cousin Balki Bartokomous, a sheep herder from the island of Mypos, shows up on his doorstep. Larry takes him in and helps him get a job at the store.
2. Picture This
Larry gets tipped off that Dolly Parton is in town committing adultery, so he decides to follow her until he can get a picture to sell to newspapers. Meanwhile, Balki will do a favor for anyone who asks for it, so Larry tries to teach him to say "no" once and a while.
3. First Date
Larry takes Balki to a singles bar to teach him how to meet women, but Balki's much more adept with women than he thought.

4. Baby, You Can Drive My Car
Balki wants to get his driver's license, but Mr. Twinkacetti doesn't think he can do it. Larry is so confident that he can, that he bets $50 and offers Balki his car.
5. Check This
Larry takes Balki to open a checking account, but problems arise when Balki spends without understanding how it works. Meanwhile, Mr. Twinkacetti wants Larry to cover for him to hide his gambling from his wife.
6. Happy Birthday
Larry is miserable on his 24th birthday after he blew a photo opportunity. So Balki tries to throw him a last minute surprise birthday party for him to cheer him up.
