For quite some time, Uncle Joe Carson (Edgar Buchanan) has been chairman of Hooterville's Founders Day (or "Flounder's Day," depending or whom you're talking to). But with the town's Centennial coming up, a more dynamic and progressive chairman is called for -- someone like Oliver Douglas (Eddie Albert). Rising to the occasion, Oliver announces that he intends to stage a play, dramatizing the town's founding -- assuming of course, that the "official" story is the "true" one.
