Welcome back to Bright's Pond. Now that her morbidly obese sister, Agnes
Sparrow, is comfortably dieting at the Greenbrier nursing home, Griselda
has time to fly - literally. A pilot makes an emergency landing on
Hector's Hill and creates quite a ruckus in the otherwise sleepy town of
Bright's Pond. Griselda becomes enamored with Cliff Cardwell and his
airplane, a 1952 Cessna Beachpiper, and takes him up on his offer of
flying lessons. This after Zeb Sewickey has proposed marriage. Griselda
has not given him her answer.
Meanwhile, Stella Hughes Kincaid receives word that her estranged
brother, Walter, is in a coma at Greenbrier. Griselda and Agnes convince
Stella to see him. On her first visit she meets Gilda Saucer, who claims
to be Walter's fiancee. Stella smells a rat and upon further
investigation discovers that Walter had recently become a millionaire
thanks to the PA state lottery. Stella, Griselda, and pretty much
everyone in town jump to the conclusion that Gilda is a gold digger.
Stella and Griselda confront the woman, who vehemently denies the
accusation and pledges her sincere love for Walter. She is still
suspicious, but Stella backs off. When Bright's Pond chief of police
Mildred Blessing digs up the news that Stella is married to a two-bit
con man, Cliff Cardwell (the pilot) from Binghamton, NY, Gilda and the
cute but lying flight instructor are chased from Greenbrier by several
cane-wielding Greenbrier residents and Agnes. They are arrested on bunko
charges. Miracles still happen occasionally in Bright's Pond; Walter
awakens from his coma. He and Stella are reunited, Griselda gives Zeb
her answer - no - and is last seen flying loop-de-loops over Hector's
Hill.
