There's One Born Every Minute

The local businessmen see him as an easy target to control. As a marketing ploy, he claims that his pudding contains a fictional "Vitamin Z," leading to a surge in sales and campaign funding. However, when the truth about the nonexistent vitamin comes to light, the town's elite seek to discredit him and reveal his deception.
