The Mayor of Hooterville

Because they don't have one, Uncle Joe wants to be named the Mayor of Hooterville. And as mayor, he would get an all expenses paid trip to the state capitol for the state's mayors' convention, and a free haircut. Sam, Charley and Floyd don't think that Hooterville needs a mayor. If they have a mayor, that person should be elected. They and the girls convince Kate to run, even though she really doesn't want to. When Joe learns Kate is running, he decides to move out of the Hotel. Selma Plout will do anything she can to make sure Kate doesn't win. She even becomes Joe's campaign manager. But they have a hard time gathering anyone to listen to Joe speak. Kate on the other hand has no problem getting people to her rally. Selma also has another reason to help Joe, she would like to be the mayor's wife. Kate and the girls miss Joe. Kate tells Sam and Selma that she's dropping out of the race. Joe wants to drop out as well so he doesn't have to marry Selma, but a law says he can't. Kate make sure Joe's wooden Indian gets enough write in votes to win.
