Complete story — includes the ending

Burt's habit of never refusing a dare, no matter the danger, is revealed to stem from a long ago dare to climb to the top of the town's radio tower, which he refused at the time to the ridicule of his and Virginia's friends. When he agrees to ascend the tower with Virginia, they are surprisingly joined by Jimmy and Sabrina, who have determined their home life is lame. Meanwhile, Maw Maw has found a new love interest in an old stoner named Hubert ( Tommy Chong ).
