Description: A rural state's senator dies and inexperienced Eugene Smith is appointed. Smith moves with wife Pat and sage Uncle Cooter. The new politician relies on chaffeur Arnie for Washington advice plus his own common sense. Although Smith seemed naive, he disappointed his backers. Smith's small-town background led him to use a "low-keyed, homespun approach" to problems within his family and at the national level.
