            In a Chicago suburb on a cold winter day in January, 16-year-old Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly), eight-year-old Miles (Macaulay Culkin) and six-year-old Maizy Russell (Gaby Hoffman) return home after school. With their parents Bob (Garret M. Brown) and Cindy (Elaine Bromka) still at work, Tia is in charge of her younger brother and sister. Tia resents her parents' absence and the family's recent move to Illinois from Indianapolis. The family dinner that night is comprised of take-out Chinese food.At the same time at a downtown bar/restaurant, tensions arise between Bob's younger 40-year-old brother, Buck Russell (John Candy), and his girlfriend, Chanice Kobolowski (Amy Madigan), when they discuss Buck's impending first day of work at Chanice's tire store. Buck assures Chanice that he will be at work in the morning; however, that night the Russells receive a phone call informing them that Cindy's father has suffered a heart attack. Bob and Cindy make arrangements to head to Indianapolis while also attempting to find a suitable babysitter for the kids. Only after every friend and neighbor proves unavailable, Cindy reluctantly agrees to allow Uncle Buck to watch the children.Bob phones Buck to offer him the job and Buck agrees because it will get him out of working for Chanice, and when he reaches his brother's house in his dirty, dented and smoking car, he assures Cindy that he will take great care of the kids. With a sitter in place, Bob and Cindy head to the airport as Buck settles in.The next morning, while Miles and Maizy take a liking to their uncle and his frank, fun-loving demeanor, Tia greets him with cold silence and is embarrassed when Buck drops her off at school, their arrival announced by his car's deafening backfire. Buck spends the day alone at the house and viewing Bob and Cindy's wedding photos, with Buck's image cut out of each one.That afternoon when Buck goes to pick Tia up from her high school, he discovers Tia and her beret-clad boyfriend, Bug (Jay Underwood), kissing. Both Buck and Bug take an instant dislike to each other, especially when Buck tells Bug to stay away from Tia and threatens him with a remark about a ritual killing. During the drive home, Buck tells Tia to stay away from Bug for the "guy is a predator and Tia is his prey".Later that evening after dinner, when Tia's mother calls to check in, Tial lies, saying that Buck leaves Miles and Maizy at home alone and drinks excessively.The next day, Buck spends the day wrestling with the broken washing machine and dealing with an eccentric neighbor, named Marcy (Laurie Metcalf), who is unaware of Cindy and Bob's departure. A two-time divorcee, Marcy takes an instant likening to Buck.Rather than allowing Tia to go out with Bug that night, Buck takes the whole family to the bowling alley where he regularly spends time with his single friends. There, he meets with a "fixer" named Roger (Brian Tarantina) where me makes plans to bet on an upcoming horse race, hoping to win enough to allow him to lay off working the rest of the year.The next morning is Miles ninth-birthday. Buck makes him huge pancakes for breakfast. That afternoon at Miles' birthday party, a clown named Pooter (Mike Starr) shows up. Buck meets with him outside the house and seeing that he is drunk, orders the clown to leave. When Pooter insults, Buck, he responds by punching Pooter to the ground.That evening, Tia attends an outdoor gathering at a local park with Bug. They contemplate a romantic encounter in Bug's car, but Tia decides she is not ready. Buck interrupts them when he drives up and intimidates Bug with boasts of his skills with a hatchet, and grabs one from his trunk. He succeeds in scaring Bug but only strengthens Tia's resolve to stay with Bug and to get revenge against Buck.Buck's relationship with his girlfriend is further complicated when Tia tells Chanice that Buck is cheating on her with next-door-neighbor, Marcy. Buck re-evaluates bachelorhood as he grows closer to the children and takes on domestic chores. While Buck washes laundry in the sink and dries it in the microwave, Marcy stops by and tries to get Buck to dance with her in the living room. Just then, Chanice discovers the couple, seemingly confirming Tia's accusations. Unable to stop Chanice from storming out, Buck gets drunk and looks forward to winning at the racetrack the next day.However, when it is time to depart for the track, Tia is nowhere to be found. When the children divulge that she has left for a weekend "jumbo party" with Bug, Buck realizes he has no one to babysit while he goes to the track. After agonizing about taking the kids with him, Buck decides he cannot put them in that position. Instead he calls Chanice and asks her to put her feelings aside and watch the children while he looks for Tia.That evening, Buck combs the neighborhood until he finds the house where the party takes place and crashes the gathering. Breaking into an upstairs bedroom with a drill, Buck discovers Bug on a bed with a girl other than Tia. Soon after, while driving the streets, Buck finds Tia walking home. When she realizes Buck knows what occurred, the two have a heart-to-heart talk and Buck reveals that he has Bug in the trunk of his car. After forcing Bug to apologize to Tia, Buck lets him go, but sets down a golf ball and hits Bug on the head as he runs into the woods with a magnificently-aimed five-iron drive.Back home, Tia confesses to Chanice that she lied about Buck's flirtation with Marcy. Buck and Chanice make up, and the next morning Bob and Cindy return home to a repentant Tia and an uncle who departs as a valued member of the family.
