Description: The Little Miss Begonia Pageant for little girls has decided to hold their event in a Roanoke, Virginia, park. Camellia Harris is called in to help deal with the botanical details, the cute contestants, and their catty mothers. Soon the drama onstage is nothing compared to the judges row. There's jealousy, betrayal, and a love triangle -- which turns deadly when local newsman Telly Stevens is found dead, poisoned by some sort of plant.
