Summary[]

Larry has secretly entered Jack's cookie recipe in the Landers Baking Company contest. When Larry tells Jack he's won a ten-thousand-dollar cash prize, the trio is ecstatic. Larry then explains the catch: the contest is open only to women, so they are expecting Grandma Tripper to pick up the check. After much debate, Jack finally decides to dress up like an elderly woman. The trio arrives at the baking company to discover Grandma Tripper is one of three finalists who must bake their cookies for the company's executives to judge a winner.

After almost blowing his cover by flirting with a pretty finalist and being sabotaged by the other, Jack finally manages to win. However, when Grandma Tripper is crowned, Jack's wig accidentally falls off and the winner's check is promptly snatched from Jack's hand.
