Plot outline

Bulldog and Gil are recording an advertisement for a new sponsor at KACL: Happy Dreams tea, which promises pleasant dreams to anyone drinking it. When he hears this, Frasier is disgusted. On the way home, with Daphne as chauffeur, he stops at a protest rally that is taking place in support of Hirsch & Sons bookshop, which is under threat of demolition. Frasier and Daphne join the protest, but when the police move in and start making arrests, Frasier panics and flees, leaving Daphne at the mercy of the officers. He is subsequently ashamed of his cowardice. As a result, when the new station manager instructs him to read the same sponsor advert as Bulldog and Gil, he objects on principle and refuses, making a stand on the air. This costs him his job, but he feels better, even rejuvenated. The new manager, Kenny, is impressed that Frasier upheld his principles so adamantly, and decides to confront the station owner about the sponsor's advert, whilst asking Frasier to return to work. Unfortunately, it is then Kenny's turn to clear his desk, and Frasier feels responsible and decides to act once more.
