Jules and Verne want to compete in the “Father-Son Big Mouth Bass-Off”, but the boys learn that their father was afraid of fishing. Using a wacky invention, the boys go into his memory and find out that while staying with his “Oddball” Uncle Oliver in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one summer, four-year-old Emmett fell into the river while fishing. The boys, with Marty tagging along, head back in time to August 5, 1926, to prevent the accident, thereby eliminating Emmett’s fear of fishing. The boys prevent the accident but a new accident is created, when Marty falls into the river instead. When little Emmett Brown casts his line, it gets caught on a low flying stunt biplane (flown as part of the “Roris Von Hinkelhuffins Flying Circus”) and the stunt is captured on film. Soon, Emmett is featured in a silent film, and a movie producer signs a contract with Uncle Oliver (who is now managing his young nephew’s career) for a series of film shorts about Daredevil Brown. Little Emmett moves to Hollywood and then becomes very famous doing crazy stunts on film, while Oliver, Marty, Jules and Verne enjoy the good life. Eventually, movie producer D.W. Tannen proposes a very dangerous stunt, going over a waterfall — not the Niagara Falls, but the 2,425 foot high “Upper Yosemite Falls” — in a barrel. The plan is for a dummy will take Emmett’s place, but Tannen plans on keeping Emmett in the barrel because “This has got to look like the Real McDonald!”. Learning of the scheme, Marty stalls for time with a tightrope walk, while Jules places a “spare flux capacitor” in the barrel. Verne, who is not much taller than little Emmett, and somewhat resembles him, takes his father’s place in the barrel. Shortly after the stunt begins, Uncle Oliver sees the dummy, realizes what Tannen had planned, and dives into the river. Marty saves Oliver, the barrel goes over the falls, and when it reaches eighty-eight miles per hour, it vanishes. Emmett is alive and well, and Uncle Oliver gives up the movie business. After the Brown family goes fishing at a stream near the falls, the time-traveling barrel materializes on schedule, as Jules had planned. When Marty and the boys return to the future, Doc, who now has no fear of fishing, is ready to go to the Bass-Off.
