The episode begins with Clem receiving a letter from his cousin, who informs him that their family has been engaged in a long-standing feud with another family in the area. Clem is disturbed by this news, as he does not believe in holding grudges or fighting with others.

Despite his reservations, Clem finds himself drawn into the feud when he is mistaken for a member of the opposing family. A series of misunderstandings and comedic mishaps ensue as Clem tries to navigate the escalating tensions between the two families.

In the end, his kind-heartedness and simple wisdom prevail, and the families are able to set aside their differences and embrace each other once again.
