Betty Jo Bradley, youngest of the three Bradley sisters, is feeling restless and unfulfilled at the Shady Rest Hotel, where her family lives and works. So when an opportunity arises for her to go to New York City and represent the hotel at a tourism conference, she jumps at the chance.
As Betty Jo sets off on her adventure, her family and friends at the hotel start to worry. They've heard all sorts of stories about the big city and fear for Betty Jo's safety. Even Uncle Joe, who is usually quick to support any scheme that might bring in a little extra money, is hesitant about this one.
Despite their misgivings, Betty Jo makes it to New York City and starts to explore. She's impressed by the sights and sounds of the bustling city, but quickly realizes that navigating it is more difficult than she anticipated. From getting lost on the subway to struggling to hail a taxi, Betty Jo discovers that life in the city is more challenging than she expected.

So she returns to Hooterville, grateful for the opportunity to have had such an adventure but eager to get back to her roots.
