What happens

America's 100th birthday is coming, and Walnut Grove plans a big Centennial celebration. But a sudden tax increase puts a damper on the patriotic mood, and a Russian immigrant, Yuli Pyatakov, is hit with back taxes that could cost him dearly.

The town's anger boils over until a heartfelt speech reminds everyone what America means. A patriotic episode with a message about freedom and newcomers.
