Synopsis

It's election time in Cube Town, and once again, Papazoni is the only candidate. No wonder he always wins. He should have some competition, and Pecola figures that he's the right penguin for the job. He stages a stunning mayoral campaign, and he actually manages to win, thanks to a few too many citizens who think that Papazoni shouldn't get all the votes. Uh-oh, this isn't the way things were supposed to turn out. Luckily for everyone, Pecola is a little overwhelmed with holding office, and he resigns, leaving things as they have always been, with Papazoni as mayor.
