Bobbie Jo (Lori Saunders) wants to win a school spelling bee, and is pinning her hopes on the "good luck" ring in her possession. Alas, panic and confusion sets in when our heroine loses the precious ring. This crisis also affects Bobbie's mom Kate, who'd hoped that her daughter's win would settle the hash of her arch-rival Cora Watson (Elvia Allman), whose daughter Henrietta (Susan Walther) is also in the contest. (Trivia note: Elvia Allman would later become a Petticoat Junction semi-regular as another of Kate's rivals, Selma Plout--who, coincidentally, also had a daughter named Henrietta!)
