Despite trying to get out of it, Herb gets called to and selected for jury duty, in the process he elected jury foreman. In the deliberation, what he expects to be the immediate unanimous decision and a quick return to work at WKRP isn't the case. Herb uses his sales tactics to try and get the other jurors to see things his way, they who seemingly are more concerned with others things. Back at the station, Andy, who has done almost every job at a radio station over the course of his career, has no issue in being acting sales manager, he, during Herb's absence, embarking on the specific task he asked Herb to do just before Herb was called away: collect on all the overdue accounts. Andy believes that for every delinquent client who refuses to pay, he can easily replace with another more responsible client. Andy finds that his hardball tactics aren't yielding the results he wants or was expecting as he slowly morphs into another more familiar sales persona. While Andy is acting sales manager, he appoints Venus as acting program director. In taking his temporary responsibilities seriously, Venus turns "corporate" placing him into conflict with Johnny, while, Les, who has come up with an idea for some news specials, doesn't quite realize how even more inappropriate pitching the idea to Venus is.
