Edgar Buchanan appears in his Petticoat Junction role of Uncle Joe Carson, recently appointed fire chief of Hooterville. Eager to attend a convention of his fellow fire chiefs in Miami, all Uncle Joe lacks are the necessary funds. What to do? Simple: appoint Oliver Douglas (Eddie Albert) as assistant fire chief -- and then persuade Oliver to open up his own pocketbook. But Joe had better hurry: there's a move afoot amongst the Hooterville citizenry to toss their current do-nothing chief out on his ear!
