When the Harper house gets a letter from a woman seeking her son about Vint's age, Vint begins to inquire about his actual birth. Thelma assures him that he was born on a farm and the birth certificate is actually wrong. He was born without red hair while both Eunice and Ellen were naturally red-headed. All this happens as the mother and son perform for an upcoming MOther's Day banquet at the church. When the Mrs. Minter comes to verify that Vint is actually her son, she is thrilled because she can move in with him and his wife. Her motives are not that clear until the final scene. After all they got the idea from watching a Donahue episode which the mother was reunited with a wealthy son. Bibi Osterwald gives a memorable performance as Mrs. Minter looking for her son.
