It's 1920 in the small mid-western hamlet of Paris Valley. The city is embroiled in a political race from Mayor. The two candidates are Willard McCobb the town's undertaker, and Jonathan Gracey a well-liked gentleman. Willard McCobb is the epitome of evil and has clawed his way to the top by taking advantage of the Paris Valley citizens for years. His reputation is questionable at best. While Jonathan Gracey's reputation is squeaky clean. Mr. Gracey knows that he's facing quite a challenge if he wants to beat McCobb, but he suspects that honesty, and credibility is what will prevail if he intends to win. Overseeing the election is a young and idealistic Magdalena Stafferd. She's a beautiful and very smart woman who holds the position of City Clerk, and her job is to make sure that the election is not only fair, but honest in every way. Phillip Gracey is the son of Jonathan Gracey, and before too long he loses his heart to Magdalena, and thankfully he did because he ends up revealing what a cad McCobb really is. In doing so, he saves Paris Valley, and yes... He gets the girl! This story is filled with likable characters that help illuminate the plot, while providing a way to help educate youngsters about the political process, and how democracy and fairness works.
