 After Andy is picked to be the judge of the beauty contest at the upcoming Founder s Day celebration, the townsfolk drive him crazy by parading their sweethearts, daughters, and nieces in front of him to try to influence his vote. Ellie, Andy s natural choice, is angry with him and will not enter the contest, so he will have to choose from the others. When the time comes, Ellie is in the contest, entered by Aunt Bee, but if Andy votes for her she will never speak to him again. Andy, unable to vote for Ellie, and unwilling to vote for any of the others, makes an unusual choice.
