"King of the Hill" depicts the life and times of Hank Hill, his family and their neighbors in the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas, the heartland of America. A hard-working, loyal family man and proud Texan, Hank always strives to be a voice of common sense and reason. After years away, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed America, while Bobby balances owning a restaurant and enjoying life as a young adult.

Fed up with substitute teaching, Peggy takes a job as a bilingual telephone operator at Alamo Beer, where some trouble is brewing.

After Peggy is conned into buying an expensive at-home Ph.D.course, she comes up with a plan to scam the scammers.

Peggy persuades lonely Luanne to join a sorority, but the group's cultlike activities prompt Hank to intervene.

When Cotton's WWII veteran's group, the VFW, is threatened with bankruptcy, Hank suggests the group invite Vietnam vets to become members.
