THE STORY
|
Lisa runs out of hotcake flour, and is forced to make Oliver
toast. Unfortunately, they are also out of jam, so it's off
to Drucker's to buy 600 pounds of flour and a jar of
jam. Unfortunately, Mr. Drucker doesn't sell jam, because all
the Hooterville women make their own preserves.
Lisa refuses to make her own jam until she remembers the
Hungarian Parliament's "Big Dumb Law of 1924," which stated,
"All Hungarian women had to do whatever their husbands wanted
them to do, no matter how dumb it was."
Not surprisingly, Lisa has a great deal of trouble making
peach jam, so Oliver suggests that she ask Mrs. Ziffel,
the best jam preserver in the valley, for help. With
Doris' help Lisa easily makes dozens of jars of "homemade"
jam.
Oliver is very impressed, until he finds out that
Mrs. Ziffel's secret is to go to Pixley, buy jam and
put it in her own jars.
