Brown reveals that she had entered the contest months ago and that she had no idea that she was going to win. She travels to the large city by bus where she is greeted by reporters and photographers as she settles into her office duties. Judy notices that the office is filled with glamorous women and she wishes that she could be more like them bus she dismisses the idea and begins to assume her duties. At the end of the day she organizes some shipping files and discovers that some of the company freight shipments are thousands of pounds overweight.

She is captured by the ring with the use of a cargo net but Judy uses a handkerchief that expels gas to subdue her captors. She nabs the thugs and summons the authorities. Her boss for the day Mr Orisso makes an appearance and immediately offers Judy Blonde a job as his permanent personal secretary.

One person throws the banks money out the window. Another man flies his airplane over the town while preforming ridiculous stunts. The cards are distributed by a local fun and games store. A clerk by the name of Al promotes the card game until it becomes a popular hit and everyone is playing. The owner of the store Joe Barnes soon returns and finds that the town has become hypnotized by the game. The town citizens notice that Joe is an outsider that has not played the game and they attempt to abduct him to get him to play. Barnes soon discovers a pair of aliens in his shop that have used Hypno paper to print the cards. The Hypno paper makes people fall under their control and they obey their every command. Joe Barnes uses the Hypno paper to print his own cards and he uses them to bring the aliens under his control. He commands the alien pair to release the townspeople from their trance. He instructs them to return to their fleet to inform their commanders that their plot to take over has failed.
