Premise[]
Bert decides to run against Cyril Sneer for mayor of the Evergreen Forest. They use references from past episodes to support their political views.
Plot[]
Cyril and Bert are vying for the seat of Mayor of the Evergreen Forest. To help their boss win, the Pigs stack the ballots to make the election rigged.
Finally, Mr. Willow discovers the election has been rigged and consequently, Bert is disqualified, as Cyril feeling like he shouldn’t have won that way, drops out from the race. Rising like a phoenix from the ashes is Lady Baden-Baden so one can be assured that the Evergreen Forest's in good hands.
