However, when the station's owner, Harold Lamb, dies, the town is plunged into chaos. The members of the town council begin to argue and fight, and the town's spirit seems to be fading. It is up to the radio station's staff to keep the town's spirit alive and help to bring the community back together.; Cartoons; 8vo .
