When the Partridges arrive at a nightclub called "The Town Hall Inn," Laurie receives a warm greeting from old friend Marc Baldwin. Marc, who once attended Laurie's high school, is putting himself through college by working at the club. There's barely enough time for introductions when club owner Harry Marino comes out, orders Marc back to the kitchen and the family inside for rehearsal. After Shirley and the kids run through one number, they see Marc come storming out of the kitchen with Marino shouting right behind him. Laurie learns that Marc and the rest of Marino's employees (all of whom are college students) are going to strike for better pay and better working conditions since the kitchen is hazardously outdated. Laurie, deciding it would be morally wrong to cross their picket lines, refuses to perform. Shirley realizes Laurie's sense of moral obligation, but there's also the family's legal obligation to consider. So, Shirley tries to talk to Marino on behalf of Laurie and the strikers. But Marino won't even listen. He only shouts and threatens to sue for breach of contract if Laurie or any other member of the family fails to appear. Shirley goes back to the hotel in rage. Then Danny puts a plan of his own into action...he tells Marc that Marino is ready to settle the strike. When Marc and Danny go into Marino's office, Danny locks the door, and the three are stuck there until some agreement is made. Marino gives in to Marc's reasonable demands, Marc calls off the strike, and the Partridge Family, Laurie included, go on stage as scheduled.

The Buchmans have been given an all expenses paid vacation by Paul's parents with just one catch -- they must pretend to be Burt and Sylvia in order to go. At their tropical resort, Paul and Jamie discover that they'll have to keep up appearances when the social director informs them that she's planned out an itinerary perfectly suited to Sylvia and Burt. As a result, they end up taking the vacation Paul's parents have only dreamed about. It's when Jamie decides to try out her French on their waiter that she gets carried away and claims that she and Paul are from France. Though Paul isn't so sure about the idea, he has no choice but to play along when Jamie tells another guest that they are circus performers. Although it's fun pretending to be everybody from a rodeo clown to the inventor of instant soup to a professional bowler, Paul and Jamie begin having a hard time keeping their stories straight. Yet, once they've decided to stop pretending, they learn that the social director has been getting requests from guests wanting to sit with their various personas at dinner. Realizing they've been caught, Jamie stalls further inquiry by claiming that Paul is insane, causing all the hotel's staff and guests to avoid him at all costs. Unaware of what has happened, Paul thinks nothing of how he's perceived and inadvertently convinces everyone that he really is mad. Yet, once he learns the unfortunate truth, Paul is unable to convince the guests otherwise and reluctantly embraces his new role.
