A dream that produces not only uncontrollable drooling in Kenworth Kuhl and results in an appetite-whetting painting by Claire Preene also causes Balonans to compete for honors in a bakeoff competition. The contest brings a famous television personality to Balona, causes caustic comment by a radio talkshow host, results in the smoke-bombing of King Korndog Inkorporated, ruins the high hopes of a famous newscaster, and destroys yet another of Balona's damage-prone downtown businesses. Joseph Oliver Kuhl becomes the unwilling assistant of his Cousin Zack in a plan that they hope will result in fame and fortune for the two of them.
