Clara Lane's stall is the market's most popular. Envious Marcus Mason gives Mrs. Goodwin short-weighted shrimp, instructing her to claim it was from Clara's stall. Customers suspect Clara, but she proves the shrimp came from Marcus's stall. Marcus denies it, accusing Clara, bringing their conflict into the open. Marcus, close with Administrator Lewis, wants Clara's spot, using the shrimp frame, a credit dispute, and contract issues to force Clara out.
