Typical shot: Peg's father. Pat (J. Farrell MacDonald) when he sees that she is downcast, advising her to appeal to the Wee Folk...

Margy Frake meets Pat Gilbert, a newspaper man from the big city, whose influence with the judges wins the prizes for Mrs. Frake's pickles and mincemeat. Thoroughly satisfied with the week's entertainment, the Frakes drive home to another year of hog-raising and gloating over their six blue ribbons...
