Development threatens Abbotsville, but not for long when Miss Julia takes on the cause
When developers threaten to bulldoze the old courthouse to make way for condominiums, Miss Julia is dismayed. She enlists the help of Etta Mae Wiggins in a plot to scare off the money by exposing the townโs many eccentric characters. Abbotsville has plenty of local color of the kind not usually listed in brochures for upscale condos: Tonyaโs sex change, Juliaโs stint as a biker chick, Brother Vernโs evangelistic passion, and a mysterious apparition on a church wall. As if this isnโt enough to keep Miss Julia busy, she soon also discovers that several of her friendsโ husbands have vanishedโand her own husband seems to be as scarce as henโs teeth. Marriages, divorces, fraud charges, and reconciliations all play out against a backdrop of Miss Juliaโs struggle to save Abbotsvilleโs historic courthouse, her marriage, and her sanity. Miss Julia Paints the Town is another rollicking good ride for fans of the winning series.
