Contents • • • • Plot [ ] With a helpful push from his wife Minerva, Lemuel P. Twine, 'Lem', decides to enter the scene of politics, by running a campaign as reform-mayor of his hometown Witumpka Falls. Normally he runs the Twine's Tasty Pudding Powder Company. Lem is unaware that his financial backer, Lester Cadwalader Sr., wants him to run in order to secure that the current mayor, Moe Carson, is re-elected.
When Lem's oldest daughter Helen Barbara is on her way to her date with Cadwalader's son Lester Jr., aka 'Les', she accidentally bumps into her ex-boyfriend Jimmy Hanagan, who is just back from marketing studies at college. Since Jimmy hasn't found work within his field of advertising yet, he is currently working as a clerk at the Cadwalader's general store. When Les sees Helen and Jimmy together he is jealous and end up firing Jimmy from the store. Instead Jimmy gets a job as advertising director for Helen's father's company.
At work, Jimmy comes up with the idea of telling the consumers that the puddings are full of Vitamin Z, a made-up healthy ingredient. He goes on to persuade a local scientist, Asa Quiesenberry, to work with him on the marketing of the product, claiming the discovery of the new fantastic vitamin. The product is tested in a faux laboratory and the media is informed of the vitamin's superior qualities. Among other effects, it is said to enhance the female sexual appetite. The pudding business sky-rockets and the small town is famous nationwide for the new 'Zumf' vitamin products. Lem is awarded Witumpka Falls Man of the Year' by the town Chamber of Commerce, and in a newspaper interview with Minerva, she announces the engagement of Helen and Jimmy. These news all upset Les Jr.
Greatly, and they start scheming a plan to ruin the Twine family and their business. The Cadwaladers claim that the Vitamin Z disappears from the pudding powder after it has aged a while. After some intensive testing of old cases of powder, the Cadwaladers announce, at a dinner in Lem's honor, that they have found no trace of Zumf in the old pudding powder. They also claim Jimmy is a fraud and accuses him of bribing scientists to play along. Humiliated, Jimmy leaves the Twine family.
