Storyline
In this spinoff of "Soap," Benson DuBois is sent out West to serve as butler to widower state governor Gene Gatling, an honest but bumbling servant of the people. Although he has his rivals in Bavarian maid Kraus and persnickety aides Clayton and Taylor, Benson, armed with an acerbic wit and plenty of smarts, becomes the Governor's close friend and helper, and eventually is elected Lieutenant Governor.
