The mayor engaged a new cleaner, Mrs. Zwabber, who insists on a new duster. Gert is minding Marlene's aunt-inherited parrot Coco, for whom he's also supposed to find a more original name. The mayor needs the ministerial delegate's signature for the town's swimming pool renovation. Gert promises Marlene help with car trouble and brings the parrot to the town hall. van Leemhuyzen found out the delegate is greatly embarrassed by his old nickname 'plumeau'. the mayor gets obsesses by that word and the parrot picks it up.
