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 townβs many eccentric characters. Abbotsville has plenty of local color of the kind not usually listed in brochures for upscale condos: Tonyaβs sex change, Juliaβs stint as a biker chick, Brother Vernβs evangelistic passion, and a mysterious apparition on a church wall. As if this isnβt enough to keep Miss Julia busy, she soon also discovers that several of her friendsβ husbands have vanishedβand her own husband seems to be as scarce as henβs teeth. Marriages, divorces, fraud charges, and reconciliations all play out against a backdrop of Miss Juliaβs struggle to save Abbotsvilleβs historic courthouse, her marriage, and her sanity. Miss Julia Paints the Town is another rollicking good ride for fans of the winning series.
