Clint Bunsen, un mecánico de Lake Wobegon y tesorero de la iglesia luterana, se ha encargado durante seis años del desfile del 4 de julio, convirtiéndolo en un espectáculo deslumbrante que atrae la atención de CNN y la visita del gobernador. La ciudad está entusiasmada hasta que Clint anuncia su ambición de postularse para el Congreso. La gente se siente avergonzada por él, recordando sus episodios con vodka sours y su problemático matrimonio. Además, está su amistad con una joven de veinticuatro años que se disfraza de la Estatua de la Libertad para el desfile, de quien se rumorea que está desnuda debajo del disfraz y que su antorcha contiene licor. La novela retrata a Lake Wobegon como siempre ha sido: gente buena y cariñosa que se vuelve loca mutuamente.
