- While an American developer comes to town with big plans for Avonlea's future, Sara goes behind Aunt Hetty's back and uses part of her trust fund to buy a movie camera for Jasper.
- American business magnate Harold Dunn is in Avonlea for his next venture. He has built a modern company town called Dunnsburgh in Pennsylvania, and he wants to do something similar on Prince Edward Island. He has purchased the cannery and wants to build a new modern town around it to be called Dunnsville. To realize his vision, he needs to purchase several properties, including a small portion of the King farm. The entire proposal divides the townsfolk. It also divides the King family, especially selling part of their family property. Hetty, the most vocal opponent, wants to outbid Harold Dunn for any of the properties, including the cannery, to retain the rural lifestyle she knows to be Avonlea, but many doubt she has the necessary funds to outbid him. Meanwhile, Sara wants to use part of her vast trust to buy Jasper a motion picture camera, something he would not be able to do himself since he and Olivia are in financial straits. Moving pictures are Jasper's latest fascination, he who thinks he can improve upon cameras made by the Thomas Edison Company. Sara's plan is to send him the camera pretending it is from the Edison Company, who would want him to do his research with it. To be able to carry out this plan, Sara needs Hetty's approval which Sara knows Hetty will not provide. So Sara decides to call the solicitor in charge of her trust pretending to be Hetty. The telephone call is overheard by busybody Eulalie Bugle, who believes Hetty is stealing from Sara to carry out her own plan for saving Avonlea.—Huggo
