Plot
Beavis and Butt-Head discover that their television has been stolen and set out to find it. After several failed attempts to obtain one, they come across a motel that offers one in every room. They meet Muddy Grimes, who thinks they're hired hitmen and offers them $10,000 to "do" his wife Dallas in Las Vegas. Thinking that "do" means have sex, Butt-Head convinces Beavis that they can finally "score" and buy a new TV.
Muddy drives the boys to the airport. In Las Vegas, Beavis and Butt-Head arrive at their hotel room, but Dallas catches them eavesdropping and holds them at gunpoint. The boys refuse Dallas's offer of $20,000 to "do" Muddy and argue over who will "do" Dallas first. Realizing that Beavis and Butt-Head have misunderstood their instructions, she plants the X-5 unit, a stolen biological weapon, in Beavis's shorts. She tells them to meet her at the U.S. Capitol.
Beavis and Butt-Head board a tour bus. After they accidentally sabotage the Hoover Dam, Agent Flemming of the ATF becomes convinced that they are criminal masterminds and places them on the FBI's most-wanted list. At Yellowstone National Park, Beavis and Butt-Head accidentally board a bus full of nuns who are repulsed by the boys and abandon them in Petrified Forest National Park. After walking through the desert, the boys meet two former Mötley Crüe roadies, unaware that they are their biological fathers.
