What happens

Harriet Oleson digs up an old financial document that she believes gives her the power to rename the town after her family. Walnut Grove is about to become Olesonville.

She pushes Nels to run for mayor, and the longtime residents push back hard. A broad comedy, and Harriet at her most outrageous.
