Summary
Part one of a two-part episode in this comedy series about Oliver and Lisa Douglas, a wealthy couple who leave their Park Avenue penthouse in New York City to live on a run-down farm near the small town of Hooterville. In this episode, Lisa attends the town's annual play and watches a local pig named Arnold Ziffel portray a police dog. Impressed by Arnold's acting skills, she calls her friend, Boris Fedor, an important Hollywood producer, and asks him to make Arnold a star.
