Story

Max Goof is the son of Goofy, who has a tense relationship between them. On Max's last day of school, Max and his best friends Pete Junior and Bobby Zimmeruski hijack the auditorium stage in the middle of Principal Mazur's speech, creating a small concert where Max performs while costumed as the pop singer Power line. The performance succeeds in making Max a school celebrity and impressing his love interest Roxanne. However, Max is sent to Mazur's office. Roxanne speaks with Max and agrees to go with him to a party where Power line’s concert will be aired live, but Mazur forewarns Goofy that Max's actions may result in his execution by the electric chair.

In desperation, Goofy decides to take Max on a fishing trip to Lake Destiny in Idaho, following a map route he and his father took years ago. Max tries to tell his father about the party he and Roxanne are planning to go to, but Goofy refuses to cooperate and shoves him into his AMC Pacer. Max stops by Roxanne's house to call off their date, but when she says she will just have to go with someone else he fabricates a story about his father knowing Powerline, and that he will be on stage at the concert with Powerline.

Against Max's wishes, Goofy plans his own trip. After Goofy unintentionally humiliates his son at an opossum-based theme park, Max hurts his feelings. They camp soon after, encountering Goofy's friend Pete and PJ, Pete advising Goofy to keep Max under his control instead of backing off. Goofy takes Max fishing and performs the Perfect Cast fishing technique, which lures Bigfoot to their camp. Seeing the approaching Bigfoot, Pete and PJ flee, leaving the two to spend the night with Bigfoot. At night, while Goofy is still sleeping Max discovers the map route and alters it to Los Angeles, where the concert is to take place.

Goofy decides to make Max the navigator of the trip the next morning. The two go to several locations that satisfy both of them. They stop by a motel where they meet Pete and PJ once again. Pete overhears Max telling PJ about altering the map, and tells Goofy, who at first disbelieves him but then finds the map himself. The next day, Goofy and Max come to a junction, one leading to Idaho, the other to California. Max chooses the route to California, causing Goofy to stop the car and stomp off in anger.

Max inadvertently causes the Pacer to drive off on its own. Max and Goofy chase after the car and argue until they end up at a river, where they eventually rekindle their relationship. Max finally tells Goofy about Roxanne's promise and the Powerline concert, and Goofy decides to fulfill Max's promise. However, the two nearly plummet down a waterfall, before Max saves Goofy using the Perfect Cast technique.

Max and Goofy get to Los Angeles and they end up on stage and dance with Powerline, watched by Pete, PJ, and Roxanne on separate televisions. Max and Goofy return to Roxanne's house in their car. Max tells the truth to Roxanne but she accepts it and admits she always had feelings for him ever since he first said "Ahyuck." Goofy is blown upward by his exploding car, but safely falls through the porch roof of Roxanne's house, and is introduced to her by Max.
