When Ms. Stinky, Uncle Ponzi and Foxy get involved in a scam involving the Back to Diapers senior's facility nothing good can come from it. Various scams and attempts to discredit the facility, so that it will be privatized do not have the desired result, and double and triple crosses backfire. The question isn't whether or not someone will go to jail. It is a question of who will go to jail, on what charges, and for how long?

Rayne Fixer, Lily Pad, Nipinator, Miss Kitty, Dips Tick and, other characters show what happens when stupidity, a hoggish lack of manners and no understanding of moral and ethics are combined with a healthy dose of arrogance, grandiosity and self-centredness.

Badger, Dr. Burrows is furious when the Langford City Council relieves him of his caretaking duties at the Albert Head Nude Beach for supposedly, "trying to touch some humans lying nude on the beach".

As things get uglier the City Council meets with Dr. Burrows and Ms. Stinky to see if some sort of truce can be worked out before the entire population of humans in western Canada is wiped out. Ms. Stinky is hesitant to cooperate because if a truce is reached she will be out the first job she has ever thoroughly enjoyed: pushing humans through a massive meat grinder feet first squealing and trying to resist.Every Village Needs an Idiot Series celebrates the good fortune we have in Canada to always have strong competition for the position of village idiot in every community.

Mayor Stinky claims to oppose the audit because she sees it as a waste of time and taxpayer's slops. Others claim she opposes the audit because she is likely the swine that ripped the City off. After the audit, Ms. Stinky is charged with everything from theft of over $5,000 worth of slops to money laundering and embezzlement. This in addition, to charges she is already facing for taking liberties with animals in the Beacon Hill Heavy Petting Zoo.

When Ms. Stinky visits China she assumes that 1.4 billion Chinese swine will get the red carpet out to greet her. She refuses Miss Kitty's help with Mandarin because she also assumes the Chinese will oink English to accommodate her because as the Mayor of Victoria, she is famous around the world. The only things that exceed Ms. Stinky's arrogance are her sense of entitlement, tunnel vision and her inability to reason, in spite of her recent completion of grade seven upgrading. When Foxy, Dr. Ponzi and Dr. Fixer hear of Ms. Stinky's language problems in China they decide to help her, after Foxy, Mr. "I know everything about everything" claims to be fluent in Mandarin.

She marries a low-class swine from an Oregon feedlot immediately after the two of them escape from jail together.
