What happens

Walnut Grove gets its first telephone, and Mrs. Oleson can't resist listening in on other people's calls. She overhears Alice Garvey's private business and spreads it around town.

Albert and Laura trick Mrs. Oleson into signing over the store to Nels, giving Harriet a taste of her own medicine. A comic episode.
