Bertie
is at it again.
It starts when she wants a traffic light at a dangerous intersection.
But because the purchase of an automatic traffic counter would
cut into the city council's Christmas party fund, Bertie is
forced to count each car personally and present a report.
Then Bertie, in her inimitable fashion, gets into it with
one of the council members. When he dies of a heart attack,
she's accused of causing it. Goaded into running for the now-open
position, an unlikely political career is launched. That's
not all.
She finds herself running against Booger Bailey, he of barking
goat fame. That's going to be interesting. Who, for instance,
is the mysterious donor financing his campaign?
And then there's the two octogenarians who talk Bertie into
backing them in a business venture: street vending their boiled
peanuts. But what are they really up to?
Seemingly insignificant
events once again twist Bertie's life into a series of improbable,
and hilarious, misadventures.
Because Bertie is off … and running.
