Francine looks forward to going to Familyland Theme Park as the last time they had a really good day out was at the park although the rest of the family is lost in their electronic devices. Everyone wants to split up to go their own ways despite Francine's plans and they ditch her. Steve sets off to Cartoon City, Hayley tries to convince girls to ditch the princess role-model in Fairy Tale Land while Roger becomes enamored with the Outer Space Land. Stan heads to Wild Wild West World, leaving Francine and Klaus to sneer at the statue of Roy Family, the park founder who was rumored to have been frozen after his death. As they walk away, a tear rolls down his face and a bright light appears. Roy emerges and turns his park into a trap after he sees people that don't meet with his approval such as overweight and interracial families and selfish kids as he instructs his employee to seal in the park.

A week later, the survivors have turned feral, maintaining their favorite area where each of the Smith family has become King of their own land. They try to strong-arm each other for supplies with Roger trying to torment Stan while Steve's man brings him churros from fairy tale land. Francine and Klaus find themselves wandering the park and ride the Simpler Times Mountain flume ride, discovering an elevator and finding Roy's lair. Roy announces on the public address that the sole remaining army gets to leave the park, although he tells Francine that he intends to kill the last survivors as well. Roy reveals that he got to see what happened to his park and since they destroyed his dream, he intends to destroy them, finding Francine the sole person worthy of his dream.
As the armies gather, Roy takes Francine to his private apartment where he leaves her to his kitchen while he watches the battle. As the armies meet in combat, Francine is forced to keep house for Roy. She hatches a plot to blow fresh-baked cookies into the park which makes everyone pause and remember their home life. They burst into the control room and confront Roy who applauds their togetherness and gives them lifetime passes. Roy goes back into cold storage until another family needs him as the park closes after a flurry of lawsuits and becomes a memorial park for the victims.

| - The Familyland Theme Park, commonly known as Familyland, is a popular American amusement park and the titular location in the Season 9 episode "Familyland of American Dad!. It was founded by cartoonist Roy Family at some point in the the 20th century (possibly in the 1920s or the 1950s) with a dream of it being a utopian theme park where the value of family is always appreciated and where people simply have fun. It is where Francine Smith insists on having a family outing as one of the few good family trips the Smiths ever had. The park is divided into 5 areas; Cartoon City, Fairy Tale Land, Wild Wild West World, Outer Space Land, and Simpler Times Mountain. When Roy Family is unfrozen from his observation point in the park after many years, his disgust with what his dream has become causes him to turn his precious amusement park into a death trap for the patrons inside after he seals them in. The 4 separated Smith family members became the ruling "Kings" of their personal favorite land within the park. Francine and Klaus Heissler stumbles across Roy, causing him to announce a battle between the "kingdoms" in which he intends to free the winning team, although he tells Francine that he intends to renege on the promise and kill the survivors anyways. Francine Smith uses the scent of her cinnamon cookies to cause the family to remember their home life and band together to confront Roy, who in the end, rewards their family spirit with lifetime passes to the park before he went back to his cryostasis as the statue of himself again (but in an embarrassing fashion when he failed to make it to the bathroom before cryogenic hibernation). However, due to a mountain of lawsuits, the park is turned into a memorial park for the victims, and where CIA's Deputy Director Avery Bullock, who survived the chaos in Familyland, would sometimes appeared there and dance in a sultry but nasty manner with a chain rattling behind his buttocks.
