　　葛瑞的媽媽千方百計要在鎮上發起「無3C日」運動，帶大家重返那個美好單純的年代。但「不插電」的生活超不方便，連鬧鐘都不會響了，葛瑞為了逃離這種原始生活，只好去參加「勤奮農場」體驗營。

　　但早知道「勤奮農場」竟是要體驗不插電的早期務農生活，葛瑞就寧願待在家算了。在「勤奮農場」，隊員不但要做一些像是搬乾草、生火等莫名其妙的工作，就連伙食也可怕極了，農場竟然把不吃的剩菜再做成下一餐。而最嚇人的是，農場的森林裡住了一個活死人，靠吃蛞蝓和野莓為生。據說，之前有人跑進森林探險，就再也沒回來了。

　　這個不插電的原始農場一點都不平靜，葛瑞能活著逃出來嗎？

　　Life was better in the old days. Or was it?

　　That’s the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn’t cut out for an old-fashioned world.

　　With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive? Or is going ’old school’ just too hard for a kid like Greg?
