List of The Beverly Hillbillies episodes

The pilot starts after the theme song when Jed struck oil in his Lake. A rural Ozark family relocates to Beverly Hills after oil is discovered on their property worth $25 million.

Elly May (Donna Douglas) brings a Geologist (Ron Hagerthy) back to the cabin. He tells Jed that there's oil on his land and he leaves for Tulsa. Later, Cousin Pearl (Bea Benaderet) and her son Jethro (Max Baer Jr.) arrive. Jed tells Pearl that a Mr. Brewster (Frank Wilcox) of the OK Oil Company offered to buy his land. Pearl tries to explain to Jed that he is now a rich man. She tells him that he should move to Beverly Hills. Mr. Brewster comes by and also says Beverly Hills would be a nice place to live. He could have a bank out there find a home for Jed. The family and Jethro drive out to California. Jed's $25 million has been deposited in the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills. Bank President Milburn Drysdale (Raymond Bailey) buys the mansion next to his for the Clampetts. The Clampetts arrive at their mansion. They mistake their new home for a prison and the groundskeepers for prisoners. The family is arrested because of a case of mistaken identity. After he realizes who they are, Drysdale has the family released from jail. Drysdale drives them back to the mansion, but still thinking it is a prison, the family runs away.

Also guest-starring Robert Osborne as Jeff Taylor.

Note: Home media releases also include an alternative, unaired version of the pilot entitled "The Hillbillies of Beverly Hills".

Mr. Drysdale shows the Clampetts the inside of their mansion. Drysdale says that Miss Jane Hathaway (Nancy Kulp), his executive secretary, will come by to help with hiring of the staff. Jethro asks Jed when he can taste Granny's moonshine and Jed says on his wedding day. Elly sees a telephone pole and thinks it can be used for fire wood. Elly and Jethro have a scuffle and she pins him down. Jed has a talk with Elly about acting and dressing more like a lady. Jed says he raised her like a boy and he's sorry he did. The Clampetts have to adjust to things such as refrigerators, ovens and the "cement pond" (swimming pool). Jethro also encounters a flamingo that he thinks is a chicken and tries describing it to the family. This causes Jed to suspect Jethro has been sneaking drinks of moonshine. Miss Jane arrives and thinks Elly is part of the "domestic" help. Jed and Jethro mistake a croquet ball for an egg. Miss Jane thinks Jed is the gardener, Granny the cook and Jethro the chauffeur. Things get confusing and Miss Jane tries to fire them. Drysdale comes by and explains to her that they are the Clampetts.

Jed tells Mr. Drysdale that Cousin Pearl is taking care of his old cabin. Back at the cabin, Mr.Brewster tells Pearl that everyone arrived in Beverly Hills. He shows Pearl pictures of the mansion. Because she can't find a pump in the house, Granny thinks the only water they have is in the cement pond. Mr. Brewster offers to drive Pearl to the nearest phone so she can call Jed. During the drive, Pearl keeps trying to gain the attention of Mr. Brewster. Miss Jane comes by the mansion and finds Elly taking a bath in a wooden tub. Miss Jane tries to tell Granny that there are bath tubs upstairs. Granny says that they figured the upstairs belonged to someone else. Jethro tells Jed about his experience with a girl back in the hills. Jed is surprised when the story is more about cookies than anything else. Elly won't wear any of the clothes that Miss Jane brought. She thinks that a brassiere is a slingshot. Jed thinks that he's found a lot of water under his front lawn, not knowing that there is a sprinkler system there.

Due to a misunderstanding of something Mr. Drysdale said, Jed believes Mrs. Drysdale (Harriet MacGibbon) is a drinking woman. Margaret Drysdale is in Boston hoping to get cured of her ailment, but the doctors insist there's nothing wrong with her. Something Drysdale tells Granny reinforces the notion that Margaret is a drunk. Drysdale is at the Clampetts showing them how to use the phone when Margaret calls there. She has learned that the Clampetts have moved in next door to her and she wants to meet them to make sure they are the right type of people. Milburn tells her to stay in Boston. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that Margaret is on her way home. He sets Miss Jane on a plan to get them to go to Palm Springs for a few days. Elly is wearing a bathing suit and Jed and Granny are surprised at how small it is. Miss Jane suggests that Elly enter a "Princess of Palm Springs" beauty contest. Miss Jane lets it slip that Milburn wants them to go to Palm Springs so Margaret doesn't meet them yet. As a favor to Drysdale, they will go. Thinking the Clampetts are gone, Milburn arrives at the mansion with Margaret. She sees Jethro with a shot gun and faints. Jed and Granny see her passed out in the car and think she's drunk.

Jed tells Jethro and Elly that they think Mrs. Drysdale is a heavy drinker. Meanwhile, Miss Jane tells Drysdale that the Clampetts have still agreed to go to Palm Springs. That will give him time to send Margaret back to Boston. Upon Mr. Drysdale's advice to buy good stock, Jed wants to purchase cows, pigs, and chickens to raise. Jed tries to buy the animals over the phone. Jed does get the animals and keeps them in the tennis court. Granny prepares her special mash to help cure Mrs. Drysdale of her drinking problem. Granny and Elly give the mash to a confused Ravenswood (Arthur Gould-Porter), the Drysdale's butler. Marie (Sirry Steffen), the Drysdale's maid, gives the mash to Milburn. Drysdale hears the animals and races over to the Clampetts. Drysdale tries to keep Margaret from hearing the animals. The Clampetts try to get some goat's milk to Margaret, because she's supposed to have that after the mash. Mrs. Drysdale is convinced she's imagining things, because she sees Granny hovering outside her window and sees a goat and a chicken in her bathroom. She decides to see the doctors in Boston.

Jed tells Jethro that he invited his mother Pearl and his sister Jethrine (Max Baer Jr., voiced by Linda Kaye Henning) to come for a visit. Granny believes Pearl is too busy trying to win over Mr. John Brewster to come and visit. Back in the hills, Pearl introduces Jethrine to John and keeps flirting with him. Granny wants to go home because folks are so unfriendly and no one has come to call. Jed wants to stay because Elly wore a dress today and he thinks Beverly Hills is good for her. Elly comes home with her dress all muddied up. She says because it was a ball gown, she went and played football with some boys. Back in the hills, John asks Pearl if she's going to visit Jed. Pearl, because she wants to stay with him, tells John she's so busy here. Wanting to find a man for Jethrine, Pearl asks John about the single men that are working for him. Jasper 'Jazzbo' Depew (Phil Gordon) drives up and starts talking to Jethrine. He wants to sell her a French Garter, but she misunderstands and carries him off. Jed convinces Granny that they should call on their neighbors. The first house they visit, Governess Agnes (Shirley Mitchell) invites them in. The Clampetts don't know it is Halloween and Agnes thinks they're trick or treating as hillbillies. She gives them some treats. Granny and Jed see the two children of the house in their costumes. They feel bad because the children are so ugly. The Clampetts visit several more homes and find that people welcome them and give them all manner of gifts.

Also guest-starring Teddy Eccles as Little Boy.

Jed and Granny would like to see Elly wear some of the dresses that Miss Jane got her. She'll do it, but says Jethro better not make fun of her. Jethro does and Elly tackles him. Meanwhile, Drysdale would like to get the Clampetts used to having some servants. Drysdale talks Jed into taking in his butler Ravenswood and upstairs girl Marie as a favor. Jed and Granny believe that Ravenswood is Margaret's relative and that Marie is her daughter. When Ravenswood sees Jethro again, he runs away and Drysdale goes after him. Miss Jane introduces Marie and learns that Granny's last name is Moses. Miss Jane has a plan to get the Clampetts used to city clothes by painting a portrait of them. Something Jed says about Ravenswood makes Granny think she's an unwanted relative. When Ravenswood sees Elly in a dress and calls her a beautiful city girl, Elly takes it as an insult and starts to chase him.

The Clampetts get a letter from Pearl. She asks if Jethro is in school yet. Back in the hills, Pearl continues to pursue Mr. Brewster. She tells him that one of his employees, Jasper Depew, has made advances towards Jethrine. Brewster says he has no one with that name working for him. Jasper comes by, sings to Jethrine and she carrys him away. Back at the mansion, Jed says he needs to get Jethro in school. He hopes to enroll Jethro at an exclusive Beverly Hills elementary school. When the headmistress, Mrs. Millicent Schuyler-Potts (Eleanor Audley), sees Jed and Jethro, she thinks someone is playing a practical joke on her. And she also doesn't realize that Jethro is who Jed wants to enroll. Jed tells her he's a neighbor of Mr. Drysdale. After calling Drysdale, who holds the mortgage on the school, she finds out Jed is rich and she warms up to the idea of enrolling a Clampett boy. Millicent gives Jed a little boys uniform for Jethro to wear. There is a bit of a shock when Millicent comes by to pick up Jethro the next day and realizes who will be her new fifth grader.

Also guest-starring Lisa Davis as Diana.

Mr. Drysdale has told Jed that Margaret's son, Sonny Drysdale (Louis Nye), will be courting Elly. Sonny tells his mother that he won't do it. But then he sees Elly by the pool and sees how pretty she is. Meanwhile, Jed tries to explain courting to Elly. Granny tells Jed about her experience grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Sonny drives up to the Clampett mansion and parks next to their truck. He asks Jethro to move the truck because it spoils the look of his car. Jethro thinks he's talking about Sonny's car and Jed helps him move it away. Sonny gives Elly a present. She thinks it is going to be candy, but it turns out to be a picture of Sonny. Sonny goes to kiss Elly's hand. She thinks he's going to bite her and she flips him over. He leaves and when he can't find his car, he goes running home screaming for his mother. Granny wants to start feuding with the Drysdales. In an attempt to smooth things over, Jed invites the Drysdales for Thanksgiving.

Jed is not happy about Granny wanting to cut his hair. Sonny continues to court Elly by playing Julius Caesar. Elly misunderstands something Sonny says and pushes him into the pool. Sonny decides he needs to be Pygmalion to Elly's Galatea and remake her from a hillbilly into a woman of society. Miss Jane comes by the mansion and Jed tells her that Granny is going to make a love charm for Elly. Miss Jane believes that charms are just superstition. Sonny comes by and tries to teach Elly some etiquette. Jed is watching from another room and thinks there's something wrong with Sonny. Granny gives Miss Jane a love charm and when Jethro shows up, Jane thinks it worked. Granny thinks that Elly's love charm was too strong and tries to give Sonny an antidote. Later, Granny gives Jed a love charm. Mrs. Drysdale is looking for Sonny. Jed and Granny misunderstand and think that Margaret is after Jed. Sonny comes out dressed as a hillbilly.

When Sonny says he'll give Elly a ring tomorrow, Granny thinks he's going to propose. Sonny actually meant he'd call Elly. Jed thinks Elly will beat Jethrine to the altar. Meanwhile, Pearl sees pictures of Elly and Sonny that Jed had sent her. Pearl wonders why things haven't progressed further between Jethrine and Jasper Depew. Sonny comes by to take Elly for a drive. Back in Sonny's room, he's trying to court Elly, but she isn't quite understanding. Jethrine is nervous about Jasper coming over. Pearl gives her some elderberry wine to calm her down. Jasper comes over and Jethrine just sits there while he plays the pump organ. It is getting late and Granny wonders what's going on with Elly and Sonny. The two show up and Sonny again says he'll give Elly a ring in the morning. Jed has a talk about marriage with Elly. Granny talks to Sonny and he mentions that Elly can't dance. Jasper wants to dance with Jethrine, but she's in a daze from the wine. Back at the mansion, Jed, Granny, Elly and Sonny are square dancing. Jethro asks why they're dancing and Granny says they're celebrating Elly marrying Sonny. Sonny runs home screaming for his mother.

The Clampett clan takes great offense when Sonny jilts Elly, and they want to start a feud with the Drysdales to avenge their kinfolk's honor. Jed and Jethro drive to the Commerce Bank. Jethro brought a shot gun with him, but Jed takes it away. Jed brings the gun with him into the bank. Everyone thinks he's a robber and he gets arrested. Granny thinks the Drysdales took Jed, so she decides to take one of the Drysdales. When they get to the house, Jethro tries to take Marie the maid. Granny takes Ravenswood instead. At the jail, two psychiatrists (Lyle Talbot and Ken Drake) are interviewing Jed. The men have a confusing conversation with Jed. Drysdale and Miss Jane arrive at the jail. When Drysdale tells the men Jed has 25 million in his bank, the psychiatrists think Drysdale is crazy. Drysdale does get Jed freed and Jed tells him about Sonny. Drysdale says he will get Sonny to propose. Drysdale, Miss Jane and Jed arrive at the Clampetts' gate and Granny starts shooting. The three go to Drysdale's mansion. Things eventually get straightened out when Elly says she doesn't want to marry Sonny.

The Clampetts plan to drive back to the cabin for Christmas. Drysdale arranges for them to take their first plane flight back home. They think the plane is a large bus. They're surprised when the plane leaves the ground. Meanwhile, back at in the hills, Homer Winch (Paul Winchell), a man who has desires for Pearl, comes to her house. He mentions that Mr. Brewster is at Jed's cabin. Pearl goes to see Brewster and cooks up a feast for him. She then proceeds to spruce up the cabin. Mr. Brewster insults Pearl when he asks her to be his housekeeper in Tulsa, while she thought it was going to be a proposal. She says she's going to visit Jed for Christmas and tell Jed how he misled her. The Clampetts are sleeping on the plane and the stewardesses start showing a cowboy film. They wake up and think they're on the ground chasing the cowboys. Drysdale calls Brewster and tells him he needs to keep Pearl there so as not to spoil Jed's Christmas surprise. Brewster goes to see Pearl and tries to keep her at home without leading her on. Just then the Clampetts show up. Everyone sings Christmas carols.

Also guest-starring Eilene Janssen as First Airline Stewardess.

The Clampetts are back at their old cabin. Jed tells John Brewster how his Grandfather built the cabin. While the Clampetts are staying in the cabin, Mr. Brewster needs a place to stay. Pearl finds a way to have him stay at her place. Elly May bonds with her old animal friends. Jed tells Elly that they're going to Pearl's for dinner. Then they'll go to the movie house where Pearl will play the piano for the "new" movie in town (the silent version of Ben Hur). Before the movie is to start, Pearl introduces John to the audience. A jealous Homer Winch tries to throw a tomato at John but hits the movie screen. Pearl then introduces the Clampetts and Granny shows off her mink coat. The advertisements before the movie are about Pearl and then a wedding chapel. Pearl looks at John and makes him uneasy. After the movie when the lights come up, they notice that Mr. Brewster is gone. Homer declares his love for Pearl and asks her to marry him. Jethrine comes in carrying Brewster and he denies trying to sneak out. The next morning, Granny says she wants to go back to Beverly Hills because she had to share the bed with Elly and her critters. And a mother eagle took Granny's mink for her nest.

Jethro wants to go back to the mansion. Jed says they have to stay until Pearl wins over John Brewster. Meanwhile, Pearl sings for John and he tells her he used to do some acting when he was younger. He performs a piece from Romeo and Juliet. The next morning Pearl comes by the Clampett cabin crying. She didn't get John to propose to her. John tells Jed that he doesn't want to get married, but the whole county knows that Cousin Pearl had her heart set for him. Jed comes up with a plan for her to save face by having Mr. Brewster propose in public and then have her turn him down. And they have to make Elverna Bradshaw (Elvia Allman) believe it. John thinks they should do it in the town theater. Elverna comes by Pearl's house and gives her a hard time about Mr. Brewster. That night, everyone is at the theater. John makes his entrance. Jed didn't count on Mr. Brewster's background in acting and him making a huge production out of the proposal. Mr. Brewster does such a convincing job that Pearl, after repeatedly saying no, then says yes.

The Clampetts pack up to return to Beverly Hills. Jed tells Mr. Brewster that Pearl and Jethrine are coming with for a visit. Jed finds Elly saying goodbye to her critters.

Granny and Cousin Pearl are at each other's throats over who's going to take care of cooking and the house. Jethrine is singing and Granny tells Pearl she sounds like she's sick. Jed tries to calm things down by taking the family on a sightseeing tour of Beverly Hills. But the truck is out of gas. Jed puts some of Granny's moonshine in the truck just so they can get to a gas station. While driving around town, Granny continues to insult Pearl. They drive past a silent movie theater with some wax figurines outside. They think the figurines are real movie stars. Back at the mansion, Granny and Pearl fight over who's going to prepare some food. Jed tries to get the two to make up, but it doesn't work. Jed suggests Pearl go swimming with Elly and Jethro. There's a barbecue grill by the pool and Pearl wants to do some cooking. Meanwhile, Jed and Jethrine sing Dixie, then Jed does some dancing. Granny finishes cooking some food, but everyone has already eaten Pearl's food. Granny pushes Pearl and the grill into the pool.

Granny and Pearl are still fighting. Jed tries to convince Pearl that with her talent for yodeling and piano playing she should be trying to get a man instead of wasting time in the kitchen. Jed tells Pearl how much Mr. Drysdale enjoyed her singing when he was over for dinner. Drysdale tells Miss Jane how annoying Pearl's yodeling is. Margaret wants to go to a health farm saying Milburn is "going to have a new wife" when she returns. Miss Jane suggests that Drysdale hire Pearl to be his housekeeper while Margaret is away. When Drysdale asks Pearl to take care of his house, she thinks he's interested in her. As she's leaving, Margaret tells Jed and Granny that Milburn will soon have a new wife. The Clampetts now think that Drysdale wants to marry Pearl. Jed tells Pearl that Drysdale is married. Jed talks to Drysdale and because of a misunderstanding, Jed believes he'd even be willing to marry Granny. Jed comes up with a plan to "save" the Drysdales' marriage.

Pearl is going to start giving music lessons. This will include piano, singing and yodeling. Pearl's yodeling drives Duke the dog over to the Drysdales' mansion. At the bank, Margaret tells Milburn that she called the dog catcher on Duke. Plus, she called the police on Pearl for her yodeling. The police arrive at the mansion. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that Elly followed the dog catcher to the pound and beat everyone up. At the pound, Frank (Karl Lukas) and Joe (Peter Leeds) tell Miss Jane what Elly did. Elly has Miss Jane bring her and all the dogs at the pound back to the mansion. Sergeant Dean (Eddie Dean) tells Officer Kelly (Brian Kelly) that he met a bunch of nice people in the mansion. The Sergeant then starts yodeling. Later, Pearl's yodeling starts the dogs howling again. The two policemen show up again. This time Officer Kelly says he'll do the talking. But when he sees Elly by the pool, he is quite smitten with her and does nothing about the dogs.

The Clampetts get a letter saying that Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs are coming to Beverly Hills. Granny thinks they're coming to see Pearl as the two were former suitors of hers. They then think that one of them will propose as the letter mentions an engagement. But, the duo were actually referring to a concert they have in the Los Angeles area. And in fact, they are already married to Louise Scruggs (Midge Ware) and Gladys Flatt (Joi Lansing). Jed plans to throw a wingding for the men that evening. Knowing that Lester and Earl had a thing for Pearl, Louise and Gladys arrive at the mansion to look Pearl over. The ladies pretend to be cosmetics saleswomen. They see Granny and hope that she is Pearl. But then they see Elly and thinking she is Pearl, they leave to go to the beauty parlor. That evening, because their wives are still at the beauty parlor, Lester and Earl arrive without them. The wingding starts and everyone is dancing. They were going to have dinner, but Elly's critters ate all the food. The duo play music for the Clampetts. Pearl decides she can't marry either one because she doesn't want to break up their act. Lester and Earl leave to pick up their wives. When they come back, Jed and Pearl think the men got married on the rebound.

Granny's been letting Elly's dogs go after Pearl every time she yodels. Jed catches Granny and makes her stop. So now Granny calls the police. Sergeant Dean and Officer Kelly arrive at the mansion again. Dean really likes Pearl's yodeling and joins her in song. Kelly is still fond of Elly and goes to see her by the pond. Elly is putting firewood under Granny's still. Kelly doesn't know what a still is, but he tells Elly she shouldn't have an open fire in the yard. When Dean takes Pearl outside to the squad car, Granny thinks she got Pearl in trouble and becomes sad and contrite. Kelly describes what he saw to Dean and Dean says it is for making moonshine. Granny continues to apologize to Pearl. Dean and Kelly figure Granny doesn't know it is illegal to run a still. Granny hears the men talking. She misunderstands and thinks Pearl turned her in. To protect Granny, Jed, Elly and Jethro each say the still is theirs to Dean and Kelly. The men won't do anything if Granny promises to stop making moonshine.

Granny says Jed and Duke his dog are both down without a woman in their lives. Mrs. Drysdale tells Milburn that her dog Claude is getting married. She's having the dog and its owner flown in from Paris. French woman Mlle. Denise (Narda Onyx) and her poodle Colette arrive at the Clampett mansion. Mlle. Denise speaks very little English, but she manages to ask Jed where the Drysdale home is. While they are talking, Colette wanders off with Duke. Pearl tells Granny about Jed talking to a pretty woman. Mlle. Denise comes back for Colette and when Jed puts the dog in her car, she kisses him. Pearl and Granny see this. Meanwhile, Margaret has arranged the "marriage" between Claude and Colette, complete with a decorated bedroom. But when she starts the wedding music, Duke walks in the room. Jed takes a fancy to Denise and starts to clean himself up. Denise and Miss Jane bring Duke home. Back at the Drysdale mansion, Margaret has Claude meet Colette. But when Colette hears Duke howling, she runs to him. Jed gets all dressed up to return Colette to Denise.

Harry Jones (Jesse White) arrives at the mansion and pretends to be an old family friend. Meanwhile, Miss Jane tells Drysdale about a conman named Harry Jones who is in the area. Harry suggests to Jed that he buy the Hollywood Bowl from him because Pearl could do her yodeling there and sell tickets. Harry and the family drive there to take a look. They get out onto the stage of the Bowl and are very impressed. Harry tells Jed that if he likes hunting, there's no better place than Griffith Park. Pearl is distracted by fantasizing the Bowl is full of people chanting her name. While driving to the Park, Harry tells Elly that if Jed buys the park, he'll throw in all the animals in Griffith Park Zoo. Drysdale and Miss Jane go to the Clampett mansion and find no one there. At first Drysdale doesn't think that Harry could've singled out the Clampetts for his con game. But then they head to the Hollywood Bowl. The Clampetts are impressed by all the animals at the zoo, but Elly thinks they should be set free. On the drive home, the other drivers are honking and yelling at the Clampetts. Harry offers to sell Jed the freeway so he could make the people drive the way he wants. The others drop off Jed and Harry at the mansion. Granny, Jethro and Elly go back to the freeway with their guns to teach the drivers some manners. Miss Jane and Drysdale tell Jed that Harry is a crook. Jed said he found out that Harry is no mountain man because he couldn't hold his liquor.

Rival banker Bill Hacker's (Charles Lane) bank will be competing against Drysdale's bank in a skeet shoot competition. Bill claims one of his employees is a crack shot. Drysdale isn't worried as his Vice President, Mr. Crandell, is a great shot as well. But then Drysdale learns Crandell is in the hospital with several broken bones. When Drysdale finds out about Jed's sharpshooting skills, he makes him bank vice president. Drysdale and Miss Jane take the Clampetts to the skeet shooting range to explain what to do. Milburn finds out that the rest of the family are excellent shots as well. After Hacker talks to Jed, he figures out Drysdale's scheme. Hacker demands that he be allowed to pick a different employee. Hacker sees Granny cleaning Jed's office and, assuming she is the cleaning lady, picks her. The only thing is, Granny is just as good a shot as Jed.

Also guest-starring Lester Matthews as Mr. Fleming Pendleton.

Pearl and Jethro think that Jed should get a new fancy car, but he's happy with the truck. Pearl would also like to get the family into high society. Margaret tells Milburn that Mrs. Priscilla Smith-Standish (Rosemary DeCamp), the head of a 'first family' historical society, will be staying at their house. Drysdale is not impressed. Margaret wants to get rid of the Clampetts before her arrival. She goes to the Clampett mansion, insults Granny and is chased away by Granny and Pearl. Smith-Standish goes to the Clampetts and becomes enchanted with their antiques and way of life. Margaret goes to the bank and tells Drysdale what the Clampetts did to her. She insists that he get rid of them. Miss Jane tells Margaret that the chauffeur dropped Priscilla off at the Clampetts because he thought Margaret was there. Miss Jane drives the Drysdales to the Clampetts. Priscilla tells Margaret that she found evidence that Jed's ancestors came to America prior to the arrival of the Mayflower. She ropes Margaret into helping Granny with the chores done the old fashioned way, much to Margaret's horror. Drysdale is enjoying seeing Margaret have to work that way.

Mrs. Smith-Standish and Mrs. Drysdale come visit the Clampetts again. Because of their possible new fame, Pearl wants the family to look and act like "high society". Margaret lets Pearl use her chauffeur and car. But now Margaret needs to get to the bank, so Elly and Jethro drive her in the truck. Margaret is completely embarrassed driving down the street. When she gets to the bank, Margaret is so disheveled that Milburn thinks she's drunk. Pearl comes back so dressed and made up that Jed doesn't recognize her. Pearl brings fancy clothes for the rest of the family. Pearl introduces the family in their new clothes to Priscilla. Priscilla tries not to laugh. Mrs. Drysdale continues to be forced into doing "practices from the past" by Mrs. Smith-Standish. Priscilla and the family then dance to some mountain music. In order to confirm Jed's ancestry, Mrs. Smith-Standish asks him the name of his great grandfather. If his name was Ezekiel, they will be famous worldwide. Jed lies to her to get things back to normal.

Granny has made a batch of her annual spring tonic. The family is reluctant to take any. Miss Jane introduces Drysdale to her brilliant-but-frumpy bank protegee, Gloria Buckles (Lola Albright). Gloria volunteers to take Jed some papers that need to be signed. What Miss Jane doesn't know is that Gloria is really a sultry gold-digger with eyes for Jed's $34 million. Granny mentions to Pearl that she gave Jed a double dose of her tonic. Pearl and Granny meet beautiful Gloria and are a little suspicious of her. They keep talking up to Gloria how old Jed is. Gloria takes Jed for a drive. Gloria claims that she has to marry a mountain man. Jed says he hates to see her be alone and that he'll think about it. Back at the mansion, Pearl tries to tell Gloria that Jed has no money. Jed says gather up the family because he might have an announcement. Pearl calls Drysdale, and he and Miss Jane come right over. Jed says marriage is a good idea. Jed must have seen through her scheme because he says she'll have to wait 3 or 4 years until Jethro is old enough.

IRS agent Mr. Landman (John Stephenson) gets chased away by Granny and her shotgun. Mr. Landman then goes to talk to Drysdale. Landman wants to know how Jed could be poor one year and then very wealthy the next. Drysdale, in flashbacks, explains to Landman how Jed made millions in oil. Then how Pearl suggests Jed move to Beverly Hills. Drysdale tells Landman how Elly didn't want to leave her critters. Drysdale takes Landman back to the mansion to meet the family. On the drive, Drysdale relates how Granny didn't want to move. Drysdale and Landman arrive at the mansion and Jed invites them in for dinner. They accept but then regret it when they hear what they're having.

Drysdale wants to take Jed and Jethro to shoot some golf. Jed thinks they'll be hunting something called a golf. They'll also be with Los Angeles Dodgers coach Leo Durocher. They believe that he dodges the golfs. Meanwhile at the ball park, Leo is trying to sign pitcher Walsh Wesson. Jed and Jethro are at the golf course. Jed thinks the little white balls are golf eggs. Turns out Drysdale can't make it. Leo and Walsh think that Jed and Jethro are the caddies. A golf ball winds up in a tree a distance away. When Jethro knocks it out with a ball, Leo wants to sign him as a pitcher. Back at home, Jed tells Granny and Elly that Jethro is going to be a baseball player, even though they aren't sure what that is. Elly wants to be one as well. Leo and Buzzie Bavasi (Wally Cassell), the Dodgers General Manager, show up at the mansion. Jethro throws a ball at Leo and knocks him into the swimming pool. When he finds out that Jethro can only throw a ball that has possum fat on it, Leo is no longer interested in him.

Duke the bloodhound has been very lethargic lately. Jed gets a letter from Mlle. Denise. She sends a picture of herself, but the letter is in French. Meanwhile, Margaret tells Milburn that her dog Claude is to be a father. She wants Milburn's help in picking names. Jed goes to the bank to have Miss Jane translate the letter for him. The letter says that Denise is coming back for the birth of her dog's puppies and hopes to see Jed. Denise arrives at the mansion and tries to speak English to Granny and Elly. Jed comes home and hopes to continue "courtin' and sparkin" Denise. Margaret shows the puppies nursery to Milburn. Duke shows up at the window and Margaret shoos him away. Margaret isn't nearly so happy when she finds the puppies share more in common with Duke than Claude. Miss Jane tries to teach some French to Jed. The Drysdales bring Denise's dog and the puppies to the Clampetts. Jed takes Denise out to dinner and winds up with Duke and her poodle Colette.

Granny has been depressed lately and just sits in the corner of the kitchen. The others try to rile Granny up, but nothing works. Jed arranges a party to cheer Granny up and invites the Drysdales and Miss Jane. Margaret doesn't want to go, but Milburn insists. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that the Chairman of the Board, Marty Van Ransohoff (Jim Backus), has arrived. Marty tells Drysdale that he's putting him on the Board of Directors. Marty wants to go along to the Clampetts. When Drysdale landed Jed's account he lied and told Marty how sophisticated they are. Hearing about the party does get Granny excited. Drysdale goes to speak with Jed. Not wanting Marty to see what the Clampetts are really like, Drysdale makes up a story as to why they can't come to dinner that evening. Drysdale doesn't know that Miss Jane just called Granny and told her that everyone, including Marty, will be coming by tonight. When Drysdale finds out, he's worried what Marty will do because he deceived him about the Clampetts. Miss Jane and Marty arrive at the mansion. Drysdale is too afraid to go to the party. Marty is thrilled with what he believes to be a "Hillbilly Party" thrown for him. He and Miss Jane even dress in Hillbilly clothes and have a great time.

James and Mabel Johnson (Murvyn Vye and Kathleen Freeman) back into the Clampetts' car outside of the Commerce Bank. They tell the Clampetts that no one was hurt. After they discover that the Clampetts are rich, they fake injuries and sue the Clampetts. During the trial, the Clampetts aren't used to court procedures. The Judge (Roy Roberts) makes allowances for that. Mabel enters the courtroom on crutches and James is in a wheelchair. James makes up a story that the Clampetts drove into them in a drunken stupor. Thinking the Johnson's are talking about someone else, Jed tells the Judge they'd be happy to track down those other people. The Judge explains to Jed that he and the family are the ones being accused. When things get out of hand in the courtroom, the Clampetts wind up in jail for a while. The Clampetts bring a bunch of their homemade food into the court. The Johnson's Attorney (Dean Harens) then questions the Clampetts. He keeps interrupting them when they try to say they didn't drive into the Johhson's. The Judge finally lets Jed have his say. The couple's story begins to sound made up to the Attorney. Things really unravel when Mabel learns about James's girlfriend.

Pearl comes to visit. She tells the family that Jethrine didn't marry the local undertaker. Jethrine eloped with Jasper Depew. Jethro needs a health certificate to graduate from the fifth grade. He goes to the only doctor the Clampetts know about - Mrs. Drysdale's psychiatrist, Dr. Eugene Twombly (Herbert Rudley). While talking to Twombly, Jethro falls asleep on the couch. The psychiatrist may have bitten off more than he can chew when he starts treating Jethro. Jethro returns home and says that all Twombly talked about was Jethro's mother. He would like to meet Pearl right away. Pearl would like to hook up with a wealthy Beverly Hills man. Pearl gets all dressed up and goes to see Twombly. She is a little surprised when Twombly closes the curtains and dims the office lights. She thinks he is testing her virtue when he tries to lay her on his couch. Pearl leaves. Later, Jed comes by to see Twombly and tells him he's upset that he made advances toward Pearl. Twombly tries to explain that he's a psychiatrist.

Meanwhile, Granny says it is going to rain and Miss Jane tells her the paper says it won't. Jethro and Twombly have another confusing conversation. Jethro finally gets his bill of health from Twombly so he can graduate the fifth grade. Twombly tells Drysdale that he's very interested in Granny's home remedies for various ailments. Pearl tells Granny she kind of likes Twombly. Drysdale brings Twombly to the Clampetts' just as Granny shows Pearl how to use a love potion, so everyone thinks Twombly's interest in Granny is love. Granny tries to break the spell by blowing a special powder on Twombly. Pearl gets all dressed up and Granny makes herself look like a witch. Twombly still wants to talk to Granny so everyone thinks the spell isn't broken. Pearl tries to impress Twombly with her yodeling, but that doesn't work. Twombly wants to take Granny for a drive in his convertible, but Granny says it is going to rain. Twombly tells Granny it isn't supposed to rain. They step outside and it starts to rain.

Miss Jane gets sick and Mr. Drysdale has to speak at a conference. Miss Jane hasn't finished writing the speech he is to give. Jed comes by the bank to see if there's anything he can do. Drysdale meets the new teller, Bob Billington (John Ashley), who sucks-up to the men and flirts with the women. To help out, Granny is mixing up a cure for Miss Jane and Jethro comes up with a speech for Drysdale. Jed, Elly and Jethro come by the bank. Jed volunteers to have Elly fill in for Miss Jane. Jethro hands Drysdale his speech which Drysdale thinks is the one he was working on. Drysdale leaves and Jed figures that he'll run the bank until Drysdale gets back. Bob tries to make time with secretary Kitty Northcross (Joy Harmon). But then Bob sees Elly and starts to flirt with her. Elly misunderstands Bob's "hipster" talk. At the convention, Drysdale starts to read Jethro's speech and then has to improvise. Jed lends money to a Mr. Wilson (Willis Bouchey), who claims to be a poor chicken rancher. When Bob hears how much money Jed has, he tries to get some. Wilson was actually a test case for the convention. Because Jed was the only one to give him money, Drysdale is named "Banker of the Year".

Jed tells Granny that Jethro has invited a friend named Armstrong Dueser McHugh III to come over. Jed thinks Jethro is bringing him to meet Elly. They are surprised when Armstrong turns out to be a little boy from Jethro's school. Wilkins (Hayden Rorke), the chauffeur, coddles the boy and treats him as frail. Wilkins takes out a bunch of pills for Armstrong and tries to protect him from some of Elly's critters. "Duesy" tells the family that his parents travel a lot so he never sees them. Later, Wilkins comes to pick up Armstrong, but Granny says he's having too much fun. Granny forces Wilkins to leave. Wilkins goes to complain to Drysdale. Jethro teaches Duesy how to swim. Elly demonstrates on the Pool Man (Gil Perkins) how Dusey can protect himself from bullies. Granny teaches him how to fish and Jed plays horseshoes with him. Wilkins brings Drysdale and Miss Jane to the mansion. Wilkins finds Dusey napping with Elly's critters. When Wilkins tries to forcibly take him away, Dusey uses one of the moves Elly taught him.

Jed pretends to be sick so that Granny can get to doctoring and feel more at home. Jethro can't find any of Granny's mountain medicine ingredients, so she has to improvise. Elly is the only one that knows Jed is faking it. Elly tells Drysdale what Jed is up to. Drysdale pretends he isn't feeling well and asks Granny's advice. This backfires as she puts him to bed with Jed. Drysdale's physician, Dr. Roy Clyburn (Fred Clark), is at the bank. Miss Jane tells him that Milburn is in great shape and has been taking walks every morning. She calls the Clampetts and learns Drysdale is sick in bed. Drysdale tries to tell Granny he's feeling better, but she won't let him leave. Dr. Clyburn comes by the mansion and wants to see the doctor that's taking care of Drysdale. Granny misunderstands and thinks he's another patient. Jethro puts him in bed with Jed and Drysdale. Drysdale thinks Granny is going to operate on him. Clyburn says he can call a pharmacy and get any medicine Granny wants. The Pharmacist thinks Granny's crazy and hangs up. Granny finally finishes doctoring the men and they get to leave.

Granny cuts off the top of Drysdale and Dr. Roy Clyburn's hair for some homegrown remedy. Drysdale would like to tell Granny that she's not allowed to practice medicine in Beverly Hills, but he's afraid to. He sends Miss Jane to tell Granny. Miss Jane comes by the mansion and sees the family celebrating and dancing. Jed tells her it is Possum Day and Jane pretends to know what that is. The Clampetts are looking forward to the Possum Day parade, which of course isn't celebrated in Beverly Hills. Clyburn tells Drysdale he better speak to Granny. The family is about to drive to the bank to watch the parade when Drysdale and Jane drive up. Drysdale tries to tell Granny she can't practice medicine anymore, but all she can talk about is giving him a hair growing medicine. Miss Jane and Drysdale try to set up a parade for the Clampetts, but are having no luck. Granny puts some of her hair medicine on Clyburn's head but he takes it off. Granny wants to head back to the hills after Clyburn tells her to stop her doctoring. Jed finds out there's no Possum Day celebration. They now definitely want to leave and take their money out of the bank. Clyburn sees that Granny's medicine worked as Drysdale now has a full head of hair. Clyburn begs Granny to give him the hair medicine again and Drysdale tells the Clampetts there will be a Possum Day Parade. The next day everyone gets to march in the parade.

Granny has everyone up at the crack of dawn to plow the front yard for her garden. Jethro tells Jed that he got a mule to help them plow. The mule wakes Drysdale up and he rans over to the Clampett mansion. Granny can't get the mule to do any work. Drysdale says that the whole neighborhood will get upset if they plow up their front yard. Miss Jane comes by and tries to explain to Jed why they can't dig up the yard. Granny tries to stare down the mule to get it to work. Miss Jane takes the family on a road trip to show them the modern farmers doing their work. Miss Jane then takes them to a large Supermarket to show Granny how unnecessary it is to grow her own food. Granny tries to pay for some food with Confederate money.

Mrs. Drysdale (Harriet MacGibbon) recommends Elly for a high-brow finishing school for girls. Elly doesn't want to go and doesn't want to wear a dress. Mrs. Drysdale calls and tells Jed it is OK for Elly to wear her pants and shirt. Miss Jane learns from Margaret that she wants Elly to go to that school in hopes that humiliating her will drive the Clampetts away. Miss Jane tries to convince the girls at the school that Elly is a fashion trend-setter. She then brings Elly home and tells Jed and Granny that the girls at that school aren't good enough for Elly. Elly invites the filthy rich Cynthia Fenwick (Joanna Barnes) and her mother (Doris Packer) over for dinner, thinking they're destitute. Thinking blue jeans are now high fashion, Cynthia tries to find some. Mrs. Fenwick calls to say they will be late because they can't find clothes. Jed sends Jethro and Elly over with some of theirs. Jethro and Elly think the tiny gate house is where the Fenwicks live. When they tell Jed what they saw, Jed decides to bring the Fenwicks furniture and other things. Margaret sees them loading the truck and thinks the Clampetts are moving. Cynthia finds the clothes that Elly left in the gate house and her and her mother put them on. When Mrs. Fenwick sees herself in jeans, she faints.

Also guest-starring Sharon Tate as Mary.

The Fenwick's will be visiting the Clampetts. Cynthia wants her mother to dress in the "Clampett Look" since she thinks Elly is a fashion maven. Jed sees the Fenwick gate house and thinking that's where they live, he decides to try and get them to move into his mansion. The Fenwick's arrive at the Clampett mansion and Granny gives Mrs. Fenwick a drink of her white lightning. Mrs. Drysdale comes by and the Fenwick's mistake her for a cleaning woman. Cynthia sees Jethro by the pool and asks Jed who he is. Thinking they're referring to the Clampett dog, Jed says it is Duke. The Fenwick's now think Jethro is royalty. Mrs. Fenwick gets into a brawl with Mrs. Drysdale. Mrs. Drysdale learns that it is Mrs. Fenwick that she's fighting with. The Fenwick's leave and Jed and Jethro follow them. They think that Beasley the chauffeur owns the Fenwick mansion and he has taken the Fenwick's in to live with him.

Jethro decides he wants to go a courtin', so Jed gives him a little education. Jed sends Jethro to the bank with an envelope that Miss Jane needs. Meanwhile, Exotic dancer Chickadee Laverne (Barbara Nichols) comes by the bank to see Drysdale. She wants to be paid for her services at the Banker's Dinner Conference the night before. Jethro comes by and meets Chickadee. Thinking she's the one for him, he brings her home to meet the folks. At the mansion, there's some confusion between the family and Chickadee when the word engagement is used. Chickadee thinks she'll get a job at the mansion and the family thinks she's talking about marriage to Jethro. Granny and Jed think Chickadee is too old for Jethro. Jed talks to Chickadee in private and they have another confusing conversation. Elly tells Chickadee that she likes her. Elly would like her to marry Jed so she could be her mother. Chickadee likes Elly's pets and thinks she could use them in her act. Drysdale and Miss Jane come by and they find out Chickadee is there. Chickadee leaves with Elly's raccoon.

Note: This was Sharon Tate's first appearance (of 13) as Janet Trego, a member of the bank's secretarial pool.

Chickadee Laverne shows up at Drysdale's office with Elly's raccoon. She complains that she didn't get an "engagement" at the Clampett mansion. Meanwhile, Jethro thinks he's in love with Chickadee. Miss Jane calls Jethro to say she has Elly's raccoon. Jethro tells her that he's in love and wants to get married right away. She thinks he's talking about her until he mentions Chickadee. Chickadee comes by the mansion. Jed hears music coming from her car radio and thinks that means he's falling in love with her. Chickadee and Jed still have some confusion over what an "engagement" is. Miss Jane arrives at the mansion and gives Elly her raccoon back. She then wants to trick Jethro into thinking he's in love with her using music from a transistor radio. But things don't go as planned. Jethro sees Chickadee in her exotic dancer outfit. Granny says they are to be married right away. The code of the hills demand that because he saw her in her under clothes. Because of a misunderstanding, Granny believes that Chickadee doesn't know how to cook. And that's a deal-breaker for Jethro.

Granny chases away the Pool Man (Gil Perkins) because she thinks he's poisoning the cement pond. Jethro reads a letter from the bank saying that Jed is overdrawn and all his money is gone. An unemployed actor named Jake "J.D." Clampett (King Donovan) and his wife Opal (Shirley Mitchell) benefit from a paperwork mixup at the bank becoming $36 million richer. Granny thinks that the family has been spending money foolishly. Jed calls the bank and finds out that Drysdale is going out of town. They now believe that Mr. Drysdale has forsaken them and taken the money. The family drives to the bank where they are chased away by a Policeman (Robert Foulk) who thinks they're vagrants. Jake goes to the bank hoping to cash a $1000 check. Opal thinks they're doing the wrong thing. Granny wants to go back to the hills but Jed wants to stay until he finds out if Drysdale really turned against them. A Paving Man (Dick Crockett) comes by the mansion to tar up some cracks in the driveway. He says that Drysdale told him to do it and the family thinks Jed's going to be tarred and feathered. Jed wants to stay until they pay back the overdrawn fee. Meanwhile, Jake is spending a lot of money. When Miss Jane figures out what has happened, Jake Clampett is arrested. Jed wants Jake freed as he might be kinfolk. Jake passes himself off as a long lost cousin and intends to stay at the mansion for a while.

"Cousin" Jake and Opal are still living in the mansion. Jake thinks that with Jed's money, he can make a movie with Marlon Brando. Jethro would like to be in the movies. When Jed offers Jake 10 million, Jake agrees to put Jethro in the movie instead of Brando. Jake buys Jed a new car. Elly wants to be a movie star as well and Jake has Opal take her into town to get her made up. Granny still thinks Jake and Opal are a bunch of loafers. Elly returns all dressed up and glamorous and Jake introduces her a Venus Adore. Granny changes her opinion of Jake when he tells her he can put her in a Hoot Gibson movie. After seeing a Marlon Brando movie, Jethro dresses in leather and drives a motorcycle into the mansion. Mr. Drysdale learns from Jake that Jed is financing his movie and wants to put a stop to it. Jed thinks the others are starting to act and dress ridiculously. Miss Jane comes up with a plan to make the others see how foolish they look by having Jed act and dress just as foolish.

Note: Jake purchases a brand new 1964 Imperial convertible to improve Jed's image, but the car is never seen again – the Clampett family truck is Jed's choice of vehicle.

It is almost Thanksgiving and Elly wants to save the turkey from being cooked. Jed catches Elly trying to carry the turkey away in a sack and makes her put it back in its pen. Jethro tells Jed that their fancy eating room is called a billiard room. They think that the rhino head on the wall is a billiard. After Elly names the turkey Herman, Jed finds he can't take an axe to it. Jed tells Granny she should cook a billiard, but she insists on the turkey. Meanwhile, Mrs. Drysdale hires two men (George Sawaya & Benny Rubin) believing they are Indian Chiefs, but they're really actors. She and Mr. Drysdale will dress as pilgrims and take a holiday picture with the men. Jed and Miss Jane have a confusing conversation about shooting billiards. Elly sees the Indians with Drysdale and tells Granny that the Indians are attacking. Granny and Elly jump the Indians and tie them up. Jed calms everything down. The Clampetts, Drysdales, and the two actors have Thanksgiving dinner together.

Granny is cooking up some lye soap and Jed is worried the fumes will bother Mrs. Drysdale. Margaret is having a garden party that afternoon and goes to talk to Granny about the smell. The fumes are also destroying her hibiscus plant. Jed and Granny misunderstand Margaret and believe they are invited to the party. And Granny thinks that a hibiscus is in the body and wants to doctor Margaret. Drysdale sends Miss Jane to talk to the Clampetts. Jed thinks that a garden party is when you help someone make a garden. Miss Jane tries to talk the Clampetts out of going to the party and tells them it has nothing to do with actual gardening. They still want to go. Miss Jane shows Drysdale the Clampetts all dressed up. The Clampetts arrive at the party with some of Granny's "rheumatism medicine" and some country cooking. Margaret talks them into taking their stuff back and waiting by their 'cement pond' to handle the 'overflow' from her party. After Granny shoots a fake alligator in the pond, the crowd from Margaret's party come over to see what happened. They start drinking the spiked punch and the people are having a great time. With all her guests at the Clampetts, Margaret finally comes over and joins them.

Drysdale tells Miss Jane that Mrs. Fenwick is looking for investors for a real estate development project. Jed comes by and tells Drysdale and Miss Jane that he wants a plane ticket to go back to the hills. Elly is still too much of a tom-boy. That morning Elly was riding around on a motorcycle. Jed wants to find a mother for Elly to turn her into a lady. Drysdale thinks he can find a woman in Beverly Hills and Jed leaves. Back at the mansion, Granny is against the idea of Jed marrying a city woman. Drysdale calls Jed and says that Mrs. Fenwick is interested in him, but doesn't mention she's only interested in his money for the project. Jethro drives Jed to the Fenwick gatehouse which they still think is where she lives. Meanwhile, Mrs. Fenwick arrives at the mansion. Jed then shows up and he and Mrs. Fenwick have a confusing conversation. When she finally figures out that Jed is talking about marriage, she leaves.

Granny tells Jed they have no friends in Beverly Hills. Mrs. Drysdale comes by with one of Elly's goats and asks them to keep it out of her yard. Jed at first thinks Margaret is giving them the goat as a gift, until Elly says it is hers. Mrs. Millicent Schuyler-Potts (Eleanor Audley) drives up with Jethro. She tries to tell Jed and Granny that Jethro is being expelled from her school for being disruptive. Margaret tells Elly that she will have the police lock up all of her critters. Jed tells Drysdale that their going back to the hills and want their money. Drysdale asks them to go back to the mansion and he will straighten everything out. Drysdale threatens both Margaret and Millicent and they have to go and make up with the Clampetts. Millicent tells Jed that she'll tutor Jethro privately and that she is attracted to Jed. Miss Jane dresses Granny up and tells her that Margaret wants her to join her Bridge Club. Drysdale wants to take Jed and Jethro to his Golf Club. Things don't go well with Granny playing Bridge. At the Golf Club, Jed and Jethro misunderstand what the steam room is for. Back at the mansion, the Drysdales, Miss Jane and Millicent sing Christmas carols for the Clampetts.

Drysdale has set up a Christmas tree with gifts in the Clampett mansion. The family is confused by some of the gifts. Granny thinks the TV is some kind of fancy washing machine. The family intends to give Mrs. Drysdale a mink, as in the actual animal. At the Drysdale home, Milburn gives Margaret a mink coat. Drysdale tells Margaret that he also got the Clampetts a boat. He hopes that if the Clampetts enjoy the boat enough, they won't want to go back to the hills. Drysdale also got a chimpanzee for the family. The family discovers the boat in the driveway. Jed and Granny then see the chimp in the boat wearing a sailor's suit. At first Margaret doesn't want to go to the Clampetts for Christmas. But Milburn says they have a present for her and it might be the Hope Diamond. After they arrive at the mansion, Drysdale tells Jed he put the boat there as a gift. Granny gives Margaret an assortment of Hillbilly foods as a gift. Elly tells Margaret that she can't find her present and Margaret is quite upset. To teach her a lesson, Drysdale wants to hide Margaret's mink because she just left it laying on the floor. The Clampetts search for a place to sail their boat. But all they see are cars pulling boats.

Granny spends all her time watching her television idol, Western actor Quirt Manly (Henry Gibson). This leaves Jethro to have to do the cooking, which isn't working out so well. Granny believes Quirt would be just the man for Elly. Miss Jane tells Jed that Quirt lives in Beverly Hills. Mr. Drysdale arranges for Quirt to stop by the Clampett mansion. Granny is very disappointed when Quirt is revealed to be much less of a man than expected. Elly shows Quirt some of her pets and he says how much he likes animals, especially small ones. He tells Elly about the men who are his stunt and voice doubles on his TV show. His real name is Henry and he's only on the show because his father is the sponsor. Henry recites a poem about raccoons. Henry lets Jethro drive his car around. Jethro winds up picking up a lot of women because they think he's Quirt. Jed keeps trying to make Henry look like a man's man to Granny, but things just don't work out the way he planned.

Jethro is trying to teach Duke to fetch, but is having no luck. Granny complains that because Elly has made all the animals her pets, there's nothing to cook. Jethro says that Mr. Drysdale mentioned a Beverly Caterers will bring food to you. Jed thinks it is a woman's name and that she does the cooking. Jed and Granny call Beverly Caterers, but the conversation doesn't go well. Meanwhile, Miss Jane tells Mr. Drysdale that his wife called and there's a kangaroo in their backyard. Drysdale knows that a banker friend sent it as a joke. He'll have the zoo come and get it. Granny sees a kangaroo and thinks it is an oversized jackrabbit. Jed thinks she's had too much moonshine. Whenever Granny tries to show the animal to Jed, it has moved somewhere else. Jethro tells Miss Jane how rude Beverly Caterers was and Drysdale calls them up. Granny and the kangaroo get into a fist fight. When she tells Jed about it, he asks her where she's hiding the moonshine. Bill Tinsman and Marian Billington from Beverly Caterers come by to apologize and things get a bit confusing.

Some old love letters from Jethro lead mountain man Lafe Crick (Peter Whitney) and his daughter Essiebelle (Muriel Landers) to Beverly Hills. Though he doesn't actually remember proposing to Essiebelle in the letters, Jethro is now looking forward to marrying her. Jed doesn't think Jethro is ready for marriage. The family goes into town to buy a ring. Essiebelle tries to tell her father that she loves Mel Pratt, a boy back in the hills. Lafe and Essiebelle are let into the mansion by Elly's chimp. The family comes home and Marian Billington from Beverly Caterers arrives for her date with Jethro. When Marian finds out about Essiebelle, she leaves. Jethro is stunned when he sees how much weight Essiebelle's gained. Jethro then goes running after Marian. Jed goes to try and comfort Essiebelle and she tells him she's in love with Mel. Granny and Lafe return with Jethro. Jed and Essiebelle come up with a way to have Lafe call off the wedding.

Freeloader Lafe Crick and his daughter are headed back home and Granny's glad to see them go. But it is not long before Miss Jane drives Lafe back to the mansion. Lafe pretends to be weak and hungry and claims he doesn't want charity. Lafe manages to con Mr. Drysdale into thinking he's a hard worker and into giving him a job at the bank guarding Jed's money. Granny doesn't think Lafe can be trusted in a bank. When left alone in Drysdale's office, Lafe starts looking around for Jed's money. But when he finds out that most of Jed's money isn't actually in the bank, Lafe then believes Jed has his money buried behind the mansion. Granny had wanted a root cellar dug in the back yard. When her and Jed get up the next morning, they find Lafe has dug a giant hole in the yard.

Jethro is working in the hole that will be Granny's root cellar. He thinks he struck oil. Jed doesn't need more oil and they start to fill in the hole. Mr. Drysdale learns that Candy Davis (Susan Hart), one of the Commerce Bank secretaries, will be a contestant for Queen of Beverly Hills. When Margaret hears that the winner gets a trip around the world, she suggests Elly should run. That way the family would be gone for a while. Jethro tries digging in a different spot, but hits oil again. Milburn thinks the Clampetts are digging the hole to put their money in. He tells Granny about the advantages of the vault at the bank and Granny thinks he means to use as her root cellar. Miss Jane suggests to Jed that Elly run for Queen. The Clampetts think the race for the Queen is an actual foot race. So, Granny wants to run as well. Mr. Drysdale tries to talk Candy out of running, while Miss Jane gets Granny to not run. Robert Cummings, the Contest Announcer, names Candy and Elly as the finalists. Milburn states that Candy has withdrawn, but the bank will pay for a trip around the world for her. Miss Jane will take Candy's place in the contest. Elly states that she'd rather have Miss Jane win. Robert announces fellow judge Karen Crandall as the winner.

To get Elly's mind off of her critters, Jed calls Drysdale to see if there are any eligible men at the bank. Miss Jane comes up with the bank's new CPA, Fred Penrod (Bobs Watson). Jed meets Fred and there's some confusion over Fred's name. Meanwhile, Lafe Crick comes back to the Clampett mansion and brings Granny a Pawpaw tree. Granny is not happy to see Lafe. Lafe wants to plant the tree himself because he's still thinks Jed has his money buried in the ground. Jed tells Elly that Fred is coming to court her. Lafe overhears Jed and reminds him that he has a single son back home. Jed is not interested. Fred arrives and Lafe tries to scare him off by giving a bad description of Elly. Fred is about to leave and then he sees Elly. Granny hears Lafe call back home trying to get his son to come and marry Elly. Miss Jane and Drysdale arrive and run into Lafe. They still mistakenly believe Lafe is a hard worker and a dear friend of Jed's. Lafe digs a giant hole in the back yard.

Elly is getting ready for a date with Fred Penrod. Granny has Elly dress up the way Granny used to when she was younger. Jed thinks the clothes are a bit out of date. Fred comes by and Jed and Jethro still are confused about his name. Fred is a little surprised by Elly's outfit. Jethro drives the two away in the truck. Lafe arrives at the mansion with his son Dub (Conlan Carter). Dub is not too bright. Lafe wants Dub to court Elly and marry her. Jed is not thrilled about them being there. But he'll let them spend the night if they don't bother Granny. So Granny doesn't see it, Jed has Jethro move Lafe's car. Jethro winds up pushing it down a hill and it gets destroyed. Drysdale learns from Lafe about his son Dub. Thinking Dub is as hard working as Lafe, Drysdale would like to get him a job at the bank. Drysdale gives Lafe some money to fly the boy over, not knowing Dub's already here. Granny sees Dub and gets mad that there's a Crick in the house. Jed tries to make her think she imagined it. Granny then sees Lafe but Jed tells her he's not there. Granny sets a trap for the Crick's using food, but she catches Jethro instead.

Drysdale wants to get the Clampetts interested in deep sea fishing. Jed has been disappointed that there's no good hunting in Beverly Hills. Drysdale and Miss Jane bring them a taxidermied trophy fish to mount on the wall. Granny tries cooking the fish. Because of Granny's fear of boats, the Clampetts go fishing on the bridge that goes over the Los Angeles River. At the bank, Drysdale tells Granny and Jed that he has chartered a boat for them. Granny's fear of boats only temporarily thwarts Drysdale's plan to take the Clampetts deep sea fishing. He wants to take them to Marineland to see the types of fish they could catch in the ocean. They want to save Drysdale the trip and go to Marineland by themselves. Thinking that they're large fishing holes, Granny wants to "catch the whale". The family is stunned when they see how big a whale really is. Granny still wants to get one. Elly wants to take a walrus home, but Jed stops her. Elly does sneak a baby seal home.

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs are visiting the Clampetts. Gladys Flatt (Joi Lansing) and Louise Scruggs (Midge Ware) came along. The women don't look forward to cooking lessons from Granny. Lester and Earl ask Jed why he hasn't married a city woman yet. Drysdale and Miss Jane come by the mansion to meet the men. Drysdale asks them how they met their wives. The men say they found them by holding auditions for backup singers. Miss Jane suggests doing the same for Jed. Meanwhile, Gladys and Louise want to get out of cooking lessons by suggesting to Jed that they take Elly to San Francisco to make a lady out of her. Lester and Earl are all for the idea, because then they can bring the other women to the mansion for the auditions. Louise calls the mansion to let their husbands know they arrived safely. Not knowing who's calling, Miss Jane thinks they're interested in the auditions. The mansion is filling up with women. Gladys and Louise come back and want to know what their husbands are up to. Lester and Earl decide to get out of the wife finding business.

Elly calls Dr. Martin (Russell Collins) of the zoo and wants him to come over to treat her dog Duke who is sick. Granny is upset because she thinks she should be treating Duke. Jed tries to tell Granny that he also wants Dr. Martin to come over as he might be the right man for Elly. Jed wants Elly to ask Dr. Martin to come to dinner later. Dr. Martin arrives and he is an elderly man. Without Jed or Granny meeting him, Elly takes him upstairs to the bedroom that Duke is in. Meanwhile, Granny mistakes a bug repellent salesman, Jim Gardner (Mark Goddard), for the veterinarian. She has Elly meet Jim and Jim takes a liking to Elly. After Jim gives Granny a sales pitch, Granny thinks Jim is no "Critter Doctor" but actually a "Bug Doctor" who is there to sell "bug vittles".

At the studio, Elly runs into Dash Riprock (Larry Pennell), the star of the movie. Dash doesn't know who she is and thinks she's just an extra. He's quite taken with Elly's beauty and practices a love scene with her by kissing her. Tom Kelly (Bill Quinn), of the studio, tells Dash to go and meet Elly at her dressing room. Tom doesn't know what Elly looks like. He also says to be nice to her because she is the owner's daughter. Drysdale and Miss Jane head to the studio. Miss Jane takes Elly to her dressing room and Drysdale goes to talk to Dash. Drysdale tells Dash to behave around Elly and not to make any moves on her. When Dash gets to Elly's dressing room, out comes Miss Jane. He now believes she is Elly May. Jed takes Granny to the studio to show her it isn't a den of sinners. Dash tells Drysdale that he can't work Elly, still thinking Miss Jane is Elly. Drysdale tells Dash he has to romance Elly. Reluctantly, Dash makes a play for Miss Jane.

Elly is down in the dumps after believing that Dash Riprock jilted her. He mistakenly thought Miss Jane was Elly. Dash was told by Tom Kelly, from the studio, to play up to Elly, so he went after Miss Jane. Jed and Granny can't figure out what Miss Jane has that Elly doesn't. At the bank, Dash apologizes to Drysdale for mistaking Miss Jane for Elly. Jed hopes to cheer Elly up by getting her a date with another actor. He calls Mr. Chapman at the studio and asks him to send someone over. Miss Jane tells Janet Trego that her and Dash are an item. Drysdale tells Dash to keep seeing Miss Jane until he can come up with a way for Dash to let her down gently. Jed tells Elly that Biff Steele is coming to see her. When Biff comes by the mansion he also mistakes Miss Jane for Elly. He relunctantly leaves with Miss Jane. Jed tells Granny that he figures those movie guys don't want to be with someone better looking than they are. Jed decides that the only way Elly can get a man is if she dresses like Miss Jane. Miss Jane tells Dash and Drysdale that she's been with Biff Steele. Dash pretends to leave in a fit of jealousy and goes to see Elly.

The family can't understand his peculiar hipster slang and think he's mentally impaired from the accident. Dash comes by and is about to leave with Elly, when Sheldon talks her into staying to care for him. Sheldon keeps calling Elly a chick so she wants to show him what one really looks like. Jed tells Sheldon that the next day he'll get money from the bank and buy him a new car. Jed tells Drysdale why he needs the money and Drysdale thinks there's a lawsuit coming. Sheldon tells Granny he feels like painting and she brings him a rocking chair to repaint. He gets inspired to paint a picture of Granny in the chair. Jed, Elly and Jethro are startled when they see the abstract painting and want to hide it from Granny. Miss Jane and Drysdale come by. After the painting gets smeared, Miss Jane says it could be worth a lot of money.

Mr. Drysdale has decided to get rid of elderly playboy Clifton Cavanaugh (Kent Smith) and give his seat on the bank's Board of Directors to Jed. Hopefully this will hook Jed on the good life and he won't want to move back to the hills. Drysdale is stunned when he sees Miss Jane in a bleached blond wig that she's wearing to impress Jethro. Jed and Jethro arrive at the bank. Drysdale offers Jed the job and says he'll meet a lot of other gentleman at the club. Jed thinks the job would be good for Granny because she could use meeting some men her age. Despite Clifton usually dating women half his age, Drysdale would like him to romance Granny. If he does, he can keep his Board of Directors job. Clifton arrives at the mansion and once he sees Granny he tries to leave. Drysdale comes by and stops him. When Drysdale suggests Clifton take Granny out to dinner, he says he has a date with his "Aunt" Phyllis (Sylvia Lewis). Drysdale says they can double date and Jed can be with Phyllis. That night Clifton picks up Phyllis, who is half his age, and explains why he has to do this date. They arrive at the mansion and everyone is surprised to see how young Phyllis is.

Phyllis' attitude makes a sharp turn when she discovers the extent of Jed's bank account. It is very late and Granny and Clifton are back at the mansion. Jed and Phyllis are still out dancing the night away.

Jed is about to turn her down, but because of something Granny says, he accepts. Phyllis comes by the mansion and because he's so sore, Jed can barely get into her little car. They go to the bank and Drysdale is happy to see Jed all dressed up and with Phyllis. But then Jed asks for a big sack of money. Granny wants to go to the races to bring Jed back. Drysdale and Miss Jane pull up and tell Granny that, after doing some research, they found out that Phyllis is after Jed's money. They go to get Jed. At the track, Jed is having a lot of luck picking the winning horses. Sitting behind them is Fred (Don Rickles) and his wife Marge (Iris Adrian). Fred is only picking losers. When Fred picks another loser, he and Marge get into a fight. Jed suggests to Phyllis that they leave and go shopping for Phyllis. Granny is brought to where Jed was sitting by an usher. Marge leaves. Granny mistakes Fred for someone who needs money for food and offers to give him some. Fred finally picks a winner and offers Granny half of his money. This gets Granny into gambling with Fred and they start picking winners. At the mansion, Jed tells Elly that he knows Phyllis is a gold-digger, but he's spending time with her so Granny can says she was right. Granny comes home very sad. Drysdale tells Jed that she won several races but then lost it all on the last race.

Dave and Elly go to the pool. When Troy arrives, Drysdale makes him believe Miss Jane is Elly and Troy leaves in a hurry. Dave tells Elly she is pretty enough to be "Miss Universe". Because they believe Universe is Dave's last name, the Clampetts think that he wants to marry her. Elly tells Dave all about her critters and he is getting bored. Cushing sends Troy back and this time Troy believes Granny is Elly and leaves. Granny comes up with what she thinks will cure Dave and makes him take a spoonful of it. Cushing comes to the mansion with Troy. This time Troy thinks Elly's chimp is Elly. After Dave sees Elly lift a large barbell, he wants to eat the same food Elly does.

Granny's birthday is coming up. Since Granny's not doing well growing corn in the backyard, Jed thinks the solution is to buy her a plot of land somewhere else as a gift. Jethro tells Jed he saw a sign that said "Buy a plot at Happy Valley". Jed calls Mr. Mortimer (Jesse White), Happy Valley's owner, not knowing it is a cemetery. After Mortimer learns how much money Jed has, he tells his salesman Mr. Brubaker (Richard Deacon) to try and sell Jed a family plot. Elly shows Jed a store manikin that Miss Jane got her. Elly dressed it up to look like Granny to use as a scarecrow. Jed has her hide it in the back of the truck until Granny's birthday. Mr. Brubaker arrives at the mansion. From the way Jed describes things, Brubaker believes they murdered Granny. Brubaker tells Mortimer, but Mortimer just wants to make a sale. Granny is all stiff from trying to be a scarecrow. She has Cousin Bessie the Chimp pour her some of her moonshine. Jed and Elly put the manikin in a wooden chest that Jethro built for Granny. Brubaker and Mortimer arrive and have a confusing conversation with Jed. They see Granny's alive and leave. Granny sees the manikin and tells Jed she won't touch her moonshine again.

Adaline will be coming for a visit. Jed tells Drysdale that he's sure Margaret would like to meet Adaline. Drysdale knows that Margaret won't have anything to do with another hillbilly. Adaline arrives and tells Granny she's a widow now. Granny sets to playing matchmaker for her and Jed. Jed is then aggressively courted by Adaline. Thanks to Miss Jane, Mrs. Drysdale and her snooty friends are misled to believe Adaline is a real socialite jet setter. Margaret comes by the mansion and is very sweet to Granny. She asks Granny if Adaline could be her house-guest for a couple weeks. Adaline is still talking marriage with Jed, but Jed isn't interested. Adaline shows up at a shocked Mrs. Drysdale's doorstep.

Elly is playing with her pet seal by the pool. Jethro comes by in a frogman outfit and tells her he wants to join the Navy. Elly catches Granny making moonshine, but she claims it is flu medicine. Jed thinks Granny has had too much moonshine when she mistakes Jethro in the frogman suit for a sea monster. When Jed wants to dump her moonshine, Granny says she was just kidding about the monster. Granny gets pulled into the pool by Jethro. Jethro comes in the kitchen in his suit. Once Granny realizes that it was him all along, she gets upset with him. Jethro tells Jed he has a demolition charge in the pool. Just as Granny takes another sip of the moonshine, the explosion goes off. Jethro is blown into the air. Meanwhile, Drysdale shows Miss Jane his "Money Man" comic book. She tells Drysdale that Jed called and wants help with Jethro. Drysdale distracts Jethro with comic books causing him to want to fly to the moon to meet the Moon Maidens there. Jethro buys a rocket to fly to the moon and puts it in the mansion's driveway. He then uses Granny's moonshine as rocket fuel. Jethro has to be rescued at sea by a navy helicopter.

While heading to the Clampetts for Jethro's farewell breakfast, Drysdale tells Miss Jane more about his Money Man Comic books. At the breakfast, everyone gives Jethro a present. Granny gives him an ancestor's Confederate Army uniform. Granny forces Jethro to wear the uniform when he heads down to the Army Reserves Headquarters. Colonel Blake (Lyle Talbot) thinks Jethro's an actor there to participate in a Civil War reenactment. Blake is a technical advisor for the reenactment. Blake tells Jethro that he'll be fighting Union soldiers. Jethro runs home to tell Granny the Civil War is starting up again. Granny prepares to help with the fight. She gets dressed up to seduce some Yankees and get some information. She and Elly go to the Reserves Headquarters to do some spying. Granny overhears Blake talking to the men portraying General Grant (William Mims) and Col. Chittlen (Harry Fleer) about battle plans. At home Granny tells Jed that General Grant is still alive.

The producer of the Civil War movie wants Col. Blake to direct the battle scene. Blake and Grant get to the location where the filming will start. Blake is told the bus bringing the Confederate soldiers broke down and they are walking the rest of the way. Granny, Jethro and Elly are driving by and see the soldiers. Dressed in Confederate uniforms, "General" Drysdale and "Private" Hathaway arrive at the Clampett mansion. They are doing this to make Granny feel better, they don't know about the reenactment. During the filming, Grant keeps falling off his horse. When they get to the location, Drysdale is surprised when he hears the gunfire. Granny, Jethro and Elly come up to where all the fighting is. Granny wounds the actor playing Grant by shooting him with some of Ellie's cookies. Granny then has to cure him with her "rheumatism medicine". Grant and Granny discover they have something in common after all. Miss Jane calls Jed and tells him they found out it was just a movie shoot. Jed doesn't want to ruin things by telling Granny. Granny and Grant come to the mansion drunk.

Also guest-starring Harry Lauter as Captain.

Col. Blake comes by the Clampett mansion to talk about Jethro joining the Reserves. Granny doesn't want Jethro joining up with Union soldiers. Granny calls Drysdale and threatens to take her money out of the bank because he left when the fighting started. Col. Blake asks the actor playing Gen. Grant to play along with Granny so that the Civil War movie can continue. When Grant hears how much money Granny has, he agrees to go. Blake brings Grant to the mansion and Grant and Granny go off into the parlor. Blake takes Jethro back to the Army Reserves Headquarters. Drysdale comes by the mansion dressed in the Confederate uniform pretending to be wounded. He tries to make Granny believe he didn't run from the fight but rather was chasing after Grant. Drysdale tells Granny that he killed Grant. She then shows Drysdale Grant is very much alive and Drysdale leaves. Elly comes in wearing a bathing suit.

Meanwhile, Jethro uses his 6th grade education to take the written test to enter the Reserves. Grant is filming a scene again and Granny shoots him off his horse.

Jethro believes his moment for Hollywood stardom has arrived. He asks Dash Riprock (Larry Pennell) for a part in his new cowboy TV series "Bachelor Sheriff Knows Best". Dash tells him all the parts have been cast. Meanwhile, Lawrence Chapman (Milton Frome) tells Drysdale that they won't be able to film the TV series. The child star that was to be in it made unreasonable demands. Drysdale suggests a monkey instead of a kid and mentions Elly's pet chimpanzee Cousin Bessie. Chapman comes by the mansion with his director, Otto Von Schlepper (Theo Marcuse). Von Schlepper says that Bessie is perfect. Jethro mistakenly thinks he has been chosen. Dash asks Drysdale and Chapman if they could find Jethro a job on the show. Miss Jane asks Dash if there's a part for her. Jethro doesn't like the very large horse that Elly got for him. He tries to show Dash his fast draw and almost shoots his feet. Jethro finds out that Bessie is going to be the co-star of the series. Jethro ruins Cousin Bessie's chance when he becomes her agent and changes her appearance.

Drysdale tells Miss Jane that Margaret bought an expensive art sculpture and wants to enter it in an art contest. Meanwhile, a Truck Driver (Frank Richards) pulls up to the Clampett mansion. He has Margaret's sculpture and it looks like a large pile of scrap. Margaret comes by and tells the driver he's at the wrong house. Granny wants to help Mrs. Drysdale win. So, she paints a picture to give to her to enter instead of the sculpture. The picture is of Jethro's open mouth. Jed wants to get a better painting for Margaret. Jed and Jethro go to an upscale gallery to buy a painting. The owner, A. Allen Allen, mistakes them for gardeners. Bessie the chimp paints over Granny's picture. Granny and Elly go to the Drysdales and cover the sculpture with mud thinking it will look better. After they do the yard work, Jed and Jethro return to the gallery. A. Allen Allen learned who Jed was and apologizes. They buy a Sam Rembrandt for Mrs. Drysdale to enter. Bessie's painting winds up winning.

Jed and Jethro catch Granny waiting up for Elly to come home from her date with Dash Riprock. When they do get home, Dash is frightened away by Granny. Dash tells Drysdale and Miss Jane that he's seriuos about Elly, but the Clampetts keep interfering. Granny asks Elly when she's going to marry Dash. Elly says that she's not going to marry Dash as she wants a man who'll live in the country in a log cabin and raise pigs. Granny feels bad for Dash and decides it is time to do a little matchmaking for him. Miss Jane comes by to tell Granny about Dash's intentions. Granny thinks the handsome actor would be perfect for Miss Jane. Dash arrives to see Elly. Granny really talks up Miss Jane to him. Dash wants to take Elly to a premiere of his movie that night. Granny has a very elaborate plan to make Dash want to take Miss Jane instead, but it isn't working. Elly tells Dash the type of man she wants to marry. Dash is no longer interested in Elly and takes Miss Jane to the premiere.

Miss Jane comes by the mansion and sees Granny working herself to death cleaning the place. Jed and Elly come to the bank and tell Drysdale that they're worried about Granny overworking. Based upon Mrs. Drysdale's recommendation, Drysdale hires Mrs. Meek (Fran Ryan) as a housekeeper for the Clampetts. Granny is against the idea, but Drysdale talks her into it. Mrs. Meek arrives and she is not very pleasant. It is not long before Granny finds out that Mrs. Meek is quite uninterested in doing housework. Granny tries to think of a way to get rid of her. Granny messes up the house. Drysdale and Miss Jane come by and see the mess. Mrs. Meek saves them the trouble when she quits. Granny is very happy. Drysdale tells Jed he'll find another housekeeper. Jed sees how happy Granny is and tells him not to bother.

Jed wants to talk to Jethro about setting him up in business. All Jethro is interested in is food. Jethro decides he wants to be a fry cook in his own restaurant. Drysdale is worried that Jed will spend too much money on the restaurant. Jethro tells Drysdale and Miss Jane that he's going to call his place "The Happy Gizzard". Drysdale finds a place and the family goes to see it. They pass several beautiful restaurants and then come to a small condemned diner. Jed and Granny don't think much about the place, but Jethro is thrilled. It is not long before the family has the place fixed up. But, Jethro is having no luck attracting customers. A woman comes in, but she just wants to use the telephone. She agrees to have something to eat, but everything goes wrong when Jethro tries to prepare it. She leaves and Jed, Granny, and Elly show up to help him out.

Jethro's new diner, The Hungry Gizzard, isn't attracting any customers. Granny is tired of cooking food for the diner and there's no one to eat it. After driving by all the restaurants that have the most customers, Jethro realizes that they all have something in common. Jethro tells the family that they all advertise "topless waitresses". Jethro thinks it means that the waitresses don't wear hats. Meanwhile, Drysdale is trying to impress the wealthy Vanderponts (Ysabel MacCloskey & James Stone). Jethro bursts in and announces his restaurant is going topless. The Vanderponts leave. Jed has a confusing conversation with a Truck Driver (Robert Foulk) about the diner getting topless waitresses. Jed brings Drysdale some of Granny's moonshine as a headache remedy. Jed meets the Vanderponts. Mrs. Vanderpont asks if she could have some of the tonic. Miss Jane explains to Granny and Jethro what topless really means. Jed tells Drysdale to invite the Vanderponts to The Happy Gizzard. They arrive to the diner and the Clampetts find out that the Vanderponts are actually mountain folk. Mr. Vanderpont buys The Hungry Gizzard from Jethro.

Granny complains that it is January and there is no snow. Granny tells Jed that she would like to go back to the hills because she misses the winter season. Jed tells her she used to hate the snow. Jed calls Drysdale and tells him Granny wants to go back home, which sends Drysdale into a panic. Drysdale enlists Miss Jane in an elaborate scheme to convince Granny that a blizzard is about to occur at the mansion. He has Miss Jane set the air conditioner in the mansion to very cold. Drysdale calls Chapman at the movie studio and arranges for snow machines to be sent to the mansion after dark. They'll also place fake wolves around the home. That night, the Clampetts are cold and out of food because Jethro ate it all. Drysdale and Miss Jane come by with food. Elly brings in one of the stuffed wolves. Granny thinks it froze solid. Jed figures out that the snow and wolves are not real. Drysdale blames Miss Jane for the hoax and Jed thanks her for trying to make Granny happy. Now they just need to make sure Granny doesn't find out.

Granny's been in a bad mood lately. The family puts up the cabin to cheer her up. After Mrs. Drysdale complains to Granny about her cabin, they have a physical brawl. Jed tries explaining to Granny that womenfolk in the city don't settle their differences through violence. Jethro says "Yes they do" and tells them about the women wrestlers on TV. That night the family watches as "The Boston Strong Girl" enters the ring. The Strong Girl is to wrestle the sweet country girl, "Rebecca of Donnybrook Farm". When the Strong Girl beats up on Rebecca, Granny believes the wrestling is real and gets upset. Drysdale and Miss Jane are watching the match as well at his house. While Jed is signing some papers for Miss Jane, Jethro and Granny leave the room. Granny decides to rescue Rebecca. As Jed and Elly are still watching the program, they witness Granny jump into the ring and teach the Boston Strong Girl to not beat up on a Tennessee girl.

At first Granny doesn't want to be congratulated for beating up "The Boston Strong Girl", but then she likes the attention from the family. Promoter Gene Booth (Alan Reed) asks Strong Girl who changed the script and put the little old lady in the ring. Rebecca tells Booth that Granny isn't an actor, but a real old lady from Tennessee. Booth learns that the televised wrestling match was such a success that the people want a rematch. Booth and Rebecca go to see the Clampetts. Booth asks about a rematch, but Granny says she's retiring undefeated. Jed writes a check to pay off the mortage on Rebecca's farm. Thinking Jed is just part of the help, Booth expects the check to bounce and then he can force Granny to fight. At the bank, Booth learns Jed's check is good, but Drysdale tears it up. Booth brings Rebecca's "parents" (Merie Earle & Jerry Brutsche) to the Clampetts. Booth tells Jed that Rebecca's parents are too proud to accept his check. Granny, Jed and Elly are convinced to fight. But Granny doesn't need any help to beat the Boston Strong Girl and her parents (Mike Mazurki & Margo Epper).

Granny is worried about Miss Jane's spinsterhood. She thinks Jed should ask her to marry him. Granny is sure that Miss Jane will decline the proposal, but will be thrilled to be asked. When Jed says no, Granny bribes Jethro with a lot of food to do it. Jethro goes to the bank to ask Miss Jane out and meets a new employee, Ilse. Jethro falls for her. Jethro does ask Miss Jane to have dinner with him that night. At the fancy restaurant there is some confusion between the Waiter (Fritz Feld) and Jethro. Granny, dressed as a man with a mustache, and Elly are in the next booth. After Granny reminds him why he's there, Jethro asks Miss Jane for her hand. Miss Jane accepts leading Jethro, Granny and Elly to panic. Miss Jane tells Drysdale she regrets her decision. Granny mixes up a batch of anti-love potion. It smells so bad, Jed wants it buried. At the bank, Miss Jane tells Jethro she can't marry him and hopes he can forget her. The next time her and Drysdale look at Jethro, he's kissing Ilse.

Miss Jane tells Granny about the concert her and Jethro went to the night before. They went to see Sebastian Stromboli (Hans Conreid), a famed classical violin virtuoso. Jethro is on to his next big idea and wants to play the violin as a means of attracting women. Jed asks Miss Jane to try and hire Stromboli, but she doesn't think he'd be interested. Drysdale is not happy about the prospect of Jed spending a lot of money to hire Stromboli. Miss Jane is surprised when Stromboli agrees to give beginning violin lessons to Jethro. Stromboli arrives at the mansion. Jed asks him to teach Jethro some songs from back in the hills, but Stromboli says he's never heard of them. Stromboli starts playing a slow song and Jethro falls asleep. Jed and Granny want fiddle music so they call on Fiddlin Sam Dingle (Foster Brooks). Stromboli tells Jed and Granny that he can't teach Jethro anything. Fiddlin Sam arrives. When Stromboli learns that Sam Dingle makes 2 million a year, he joins in on the fiddle music.

Jethro has set up the truck to be an ambulance. Granny is sad because she has no one to doctor. Miss Jane tells Elly about a soap opera she's going to watch with a character named Dr. Rex Goodbody (John Dehner). Elly mentions Goodbody to Granny. Granny and Jethro arrive at the bank and see the TV show. Granny confuses the soap opera with real life and decides her doctoring can save Dr. Rex Goodbody from a serious operation. Drysdale believes Granny is just a big fan of Goodbody's and tells her he lives near her. She tries to see him, but no one answers the door. Drysdale has Goodbody come by the bank. Drysdale tells him he's being written off the show and coerces him into visiting Granny. Goodbody arrives at the mansion and Granny thinks he wants her medical advice.

When Drysdale finds out Shorty isn't rich, the girls he had fawning over Shorty dump him in the pool.

Jethro is leading a wild life with Shorty. Granny makes Shorty do many chores around the house to encourage him to return to the hills. Shorty complains to Jed that the girls he's going out with are costing him a lot of money. Shorty wants to take his money out of Drysdale's bank. Jed calls Drysdale, who misunderstands and thinks Jed is taking his money out. Drysdale enlists the secretarial pool to persuade Jed not to. While the girls fawn all over Jed, Shorty tries to get their attention, but they're not interested in him. When they get back from the bank, Granny has more chores for Shorty. Jed tells Shorty he should marry a girl from the hills and hints that he should find a girl like his daughter Elly. This encourages Shorty to write a note asking Elly to marry him. To get Elly off the hook, Jed tells Shorty he actually slipped the note under Granny's door. Shorty leaves in a hurry.

Mrs. Drysdale's favorite nephew Lance "Jetstream" Bradford (Soupy Sales) is coming for a visit. He is still, after ten years, a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force. Some men put a large "Welcome Hero" sign over the Clampetts' door thinking it is the Drysdale mansion. Jethro believes it is for him because he thinks he saved Mrs. Drysdale's dog from a dog groomer that Mrs. Drysdale hired. She informed Drysdale about what happened to the dog groomer which led to that dog grommer blacklisting her to the other dog groomers in the city. Drysdale then tells Margaret how much he's spending to give Lance a hero's welcome at the bank. Milburn reluctantly gives Lance a job as vice president of the bank. Drysdale calls Jed and tells him to come to the bank for the reception and they think it is for Jethro. Lance arrives outside the bank and the crowds welcome him. The Clampetts pull up and bump into Lance's car causing him to fall out and hit his head. Apparently, during the hero's welcome, the bank gets robbed. Back at the Clampett mansion, Lance mentions to Jethro that Margaret is throwing a party for her hero that evening. Lance invites Elly to the party and they spend some time together by the pool. Margaret comes by and insults Elly. Granny pushes Margaret into the pool.

The Clampetts are going to drop by the Drysdale home to wish Lance good luck on his first day at the bank. Granny's doesn't want to go because her feud with Mrs. Drysdale continues. At the Drysdales', the Clampetts bring Lance some gifts and Elly kisses him. Margaret starts to insult Granny and Granny hits her on the head with a flower pot. At the bank, Lance starts his interviews for his secretary. Meanwhile, Jed stops Granny from going to Margaret with a shot gun. Jethro tells Jed that he wants to impress the secretaries at the bank by wearing an Air Force General's uniform. Lance is desperate to land a new depositor for the bank. Jethro tells Lance he'll put his money in the bank if Lance hooks him up with some of the secretaries. Drysdale finds that Lance has taken over his office and wants it changed back. Lance tells Milburn he's bringing in an Air Force General's account. The only problem is the General is actually Jethro who says he'll put his whole 50-cent allowance in the bank.

After getting a letter from Betty Jo and Steve Elliot with their baby, the Clampetts want to go and visit them. Jethro is still renting a general's uniform. Jethro comes to Hooterville in his uniform and on a helicopter. Sam Drucker figures out it is Jethro. Jethro hopes to have Steve give him flying lessons. Steve is nervous when a General comes to his airstrip until he realizes it is Jethro. Steve tries to explain to Jethro that he shouldn't be wearing the uniform as it is impersonating an officer. The rest of the Clampetts return to Hooterville. Sam introduces Mr. "Howard Hewes" (Guy Raymond) to the Clampetts. He owns a lot of land in Hooterville including the spot where Steve keeps his plane. Steve would like to give Jethro lessons but he doesn't believe his old plane is safe enough. Jed is thinking of buying Steve a new plane and wants to invest in Steve's business along with Howard. Jed calls Drysdale about getting some money. Drysdale believes it to be the real Howard Hughes. Drysdale, seeing dollar signs as usual, plans to leave for Hooterville right away, hoping to get Hughes to put some of his fortune in the Commerce Bank as he thinks that Howard Hewes is actually the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes.

Granny thinks that Howard is sweet on her until Betty Jo tells her he's married. Sam takes a picture of Jed and Howard for the paper. Meanwhile, Drysdale has written a song for Howard and intends to bring some secretaries along to sing it for him. Mr. Drysdale, Miss Jane and the three singing secretaries arrive in Hooterville. Betty Jo is surprised to see the Shady Rest full of presents that Drysdale brought with. Granny thinks they are for her and that Sam sent them. Drysdale fawns all over Howard after he meets him. Mrs. Bertha Hewes (Winifred Deforest Coffin) asks Granny and Betty Jo if they've seen Howard. Bertha thinks he's chasing after other women. Drysdale has his secretaries sing for Howard. Bertha shows up and finds the ladies cuddling up and singing to Howard. Bertha chases Howard out of the hotel. Drysdale is then greatly disappointed when he discovers Jed has gone into business with plain farmer "Howard Hewes" rather than Howard Hughes.

Drysdale and Miss Jane come by the mansion wanting to greet blacksmith Shad Heller when he arrives. Shad comes by where he is now the Mayor of Silver Dollar City and Miss Jane gives him the key to the city. Shad mentions to Jed that Shorty never came back home. Granny notices that things are missing from her root cellar. Jed and Shad discover that Shorty has been hiding on the property for a month, afraid to go back home. Shad tells Jed that Elverna Bradshaw bought the Silver Dollar City Hotel. Shad and Jed try to make Shorty think that Elverna won a beauty contest, in hopes he will propose marriage to her as a way to get his hotel back. Shorty does call Elverna and offers to buy the hotel back. She says he will get the hotel back when he marries her and he says no. The men convince Shorty that Elverna is beautiful and he calls her back. Elverna arrives to marry Shorty. Secretary Gloria Buckles comes by the Clampett mansion to drop off some papers and drives off with Shorty. Elverna, thinking Elly's chimp is Shorty sleeping in the back of the car, heads off to Las Vegas to get married.

Elverna discovers Elly's chimp is in the car and not Shorty. Gloria drops Shorty back at the mansion. Jed confronts Shorty about being with Gloria. Jed tells Elverna that nothing should prevent the wedding now. To stall for time, Shorty tells Elverna they'll get married once he has his bachelor party. When Elverna asks where the party will be, Shorty pretends Drysdale is giving it. Confused by Jed's phone call, Drysdale says he will give Shorty a party at the bank. Drysdale gathers the girls from the secretarial pool and tells them about the party. Drysdale steals one of the girls idea for a Harem Girl theme. Elverna finds out from Jethro about the Harem Girl party Drysdale is going to throw. When Shorty hears about the pretty girls, he's interested in the party. Shad and Jed think they should go as well to keep an eye on Shorty. Granny and Elverna decide to dress up and crash the party. Drysdale has his office decorated like a harem. Shorty arrives and is happy to see Gloria dressed as a Harem Girl. Jed and Shad arrive and the slave girl auction starts. Granny and Elverna arrive dressed up and Elverna tells Shorty they will get married

Guest-starring Jean Bell as Jean Bell and Susan Harris as Harem Girl.

Jed catches Shorty repeatedly trying to sneak out of the house during the night so as to not have to marry Elverna. Shorty dreams about his bachelor party. Jed and Shad wake Shorty up because he needs to prepare for his wedding. Meanwhile, Drysdale has cheated Miss Bell out of her bonus for coming up with the Harem Bachelor party idea. Shorty keeps stalling for time by locking himself in a bathroom. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that Jean Bell's little brother Cookie (Cookie Gilchrist) would like to meet him. Cookie turns out to be anything but little. Cookie is joined by his big brother Earl (Earl Faison), who is even bigger. Drysdale decides to pay Miss Bell her bonus. Jethro and Elly have decorated the wedding car. In order to explain the cost of the party to the bank's board, Miss Jane suggests they use some of the pictures from the Harem Party as an ad for the bank. In a last-ditch desperation attempt to avoid marrying Elverna, Shorty pretends to be addicted to gambling which he knows she's against. Drysdale wants to re-shoot some slave girl pictures with Jean. Drysdale gets himself in trouble with Miss Bell's brothers again.

Shorty continues to resist marrying Elverna and has run off again. Shad and Jed learn there is a three-day waiting period before the wedding. Jed recalls how Shorty was always into chasing beautiful women. Miss Jane tells Shad and Jed that Shorty has locked himself in the bank's secretarial pool. They get him back to the mansion, only to have Shorty sneak out again. Shorty is back at the secretarial pool, but this time he has taken Jethro with him. To track the reluctant groom, Jed has Shad put a bell on him. Miss Jane "Doctors" a photo of Elverna in a bathing suit, giving her the body of a beauty queen. Jed and Shad remember when they tried to get Shorty to believe Elverna looked like Elly. Shorty sees the picture and goes wild. He asks Elverna to go swimming. But after really seeing her in a bathing suit, Shorty runs off to the secretarial pool again. Drysdale calls the police. Jed finds a way for everyone to join Shorty and have a party.

Jed and Granny are at the bank and invite Drysdale and Miss Jane to Shorty's wedding. Shorty is more desperate than ever to get out of his engagement to Elverna. To make sure Shorty gets married, Jed and Shad build a cage for Shorty. But Jethro gets outsmarted and lets Shorty go. Meanwhile, Elverna is trying to give Elly cooking lessons. Shorty heads to the bank's secretarial pool. Mr. Drysdale brings Shorty back to the mansion. While rehearsing for the wedding, a handcuffed Shorty tricks Jethro several times into letting him go. Jed goes to the bank. Shorty is caught there again, put in the cage again and Jethro is once again tricked into letting him go. Elverna and Granny learn that the three day waiting period has been revoked. They can get married right away. Shorty is caught at the bank and handcuffed to secretary Gloria. Drysdale calls Jed and says Shorty and Elverna can get married at the bank. Jed and Elverna arrive at the bank and meet Judge Marshall. It turns out the confused Judge married Shorty and Gloria.

Miss Jane takes the handcuffs off of Shorty and Gloria as Mr. Drysdale is unable to catch up to Judge Marshall. Elverna brings Shorty to the mansion to lock him in the cage again until the wedding can be annulled. Hoping to convince her she should annul her marriage, Jed offers Gloria a taste of country living by offering her a stay in their little cabin in back. After Jed calls Elly to get the cabin ready, Granny briefly thinks that Jed has married Gloria. Gloria sees Shorty in the cage. She tells him she's not getting an annulment and she's going to live in the country with him. Gloria is surprised when she sees the cabin, chickens and a hog. Jed tells Elly to get Gloria some farm wife clothes. While he is in the cage, Shorty kisses Elverna and gets the key out of her purse. Jethro sees this and let's it slip to Elverna that Shorty has the key. Shorty tricks Jethro again and gets out of the cage. Jethro gets Bessy the chimp to let him out of the cage. Granny tries to teach Gloria how to milk a cow. Later, Jethro sees Bessy has a banana that Elverna gave her. When he goes into the cage to get it, Bessy locks him in. After Granny has her do several more chores, Gloria decides farm life is not for her. Because the marriage license was made out for Shorty and Elverna, Shorty's marriage to Gloria is invalid.

Elly tells Jed and Jethro that Granny didn't sleep in her room and is missing. Jed thinks he knows where she is. Granny gets Jed, Elly, and Jethro to move into the old cabin in the backyard. Shorty Kellems exploits the now-unoccupied mansion and turns it into a hotel for only women. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that the girls in the bank secretarial pool heard about an inexpensive hotel for women. They would like to go to see it. Drysdale learns the hotel is the Clampett mansion. The girls move in. Jethro doesn't know about the girls and wants to move in with Shorty. Shorty wants Granny to cook for him and Jethro, but he'll really give it to the girls. Jed comes by and wonders about all the women's clothes hanging in the kitchen. Shorty tells Jed the clothes are his. When Jethro finds out about the girls, he wants to be part of the action, but Shorty won't let him in the mansion. Jed begins to suspect something is going on. When he enters the mansion he finds Jethro trying to sneak in dressed as a girl. Jed tells Shorty he needs to move back to the hills.

Shorty's been sent back to the hills. But the Clampetts still have all his girl boarders to deal with in the mansion. Jed recalls how when he walked in the kitchen, Shorty had a lot of girls clothes hanging on a line. When Jethro wants to keep checking on the girls, Jed locks him in the cage. Elly meets three of the girls and tells them that Granny is making breakfast. Meanwhile back at the bank, Miss Jane reminds Drysdale how he talked Jean Bell into moving into the mansion with the other girls. Jean Bell's brothers Cookie and Earl ask Drysdale why she moved out of their house. He tells them that Jean is living in luxury at the Clampett mansion and they should go and see the place. Jean learns that Drysdale gave her the day off and she volunteers to do some chores around the mansion. Jean asks Granny to teach her how to cook some of her down home dishes. Cookie and Earl arrive at the mansion and Granny shows them Jean making lye soap. Jean's brothers get the mistaken idea that Drysdale has enslaved their sister. They bring Drysdale back to the mansion and see Jean cooking. Drysdale wants to take Jean back to the bank, but she wants to stay and cook. Jean locks herself in the cage. The brothers lock Drysdale in the cage and make him swallow the keys.

Elly and Jethro tell Jed and Granny that they saw Honest John while they were driving. They flashback to when they had to say goodbye to him while in Central Park. Honest John returns to his wife Flo (Kathleen Freeman) and confesses that he has gone straight. John flashes back to when Jed gave him money for the park. Flo convinces him he's got to get back into the "con-game" and should start with the Clampetts again. Meanwhile, Jed flashes back to when the police dropped John off at the park. Just then, Honest John shows up at the mansion. John claims he will build a giant fan to blow all the smog out of Los Angeles through the mountains. Jed has a hard time getting some money from Mr. Drysdale. Jed tells him the project is a secret, but it has to do with drilling in the San Bernardino Mountains. Drysdale thinks Jed has struck oil there. Honest John gets half a million from Jed. Each of the family thank him for what's he's going to do. Honest John tells Flo about the money and how easy it was to get. She keeps asking him where it is. He tells her he once again had a change of heart and gave it back. She starts yelling and throwing things at him as he runs out.

Note: This is the first time an "edited" version of the opening credits, without the ballad, is aired. A clip of Phil Silvers appears before the titles with an announcer telling us Phil Silvers is in the episode.

Jed and Granny continue to praise Honest John. Honest John tries to explain to Flo why he gave Jed the money back. Flo is intent on helping John regain his scheming composure. Meanwhile, Drysdale wants his real estate agent Fred Hutchins (Dave Willock) to buy up land in the mountains where he thinks Jed has found more oil. Drysdale sends Miss Jane to find out the location where Jed plans to drill. Flo and John go to the Clampetts to continue the smog removal scam. Flo goes as Honest John's Spanish mother. Miss Jane finds out from Granny that Jed is drilling to remove smog, not drilling for oil. She finds out from Jed the location. But to teach Drysdale a lesson, she won't tell him about the smog. Jed and the rest go to get the sack of money that Honest John returned. Elly tells them that Jethro took it and went to look for John. Jed says he'll go to the bank and get more. Fred tries to talk Drysdale out of buying what are just a bunch of worthless rocks. This time Jed gets 7 hundred thousand. Flo breaks into Jed's wall safe, but it is full of Granny's goat cheese and she faints. Once again Jed gives Honest John the money. But this time Flo, who has just had a lot of Granny's "medicine", makes him give it back. Drysdale finds out that he spent a fortune on useless land.

Note: This is the second time an "edited" version of the opening credits, without the ballad, is aired. A clip of Phil Silvers appears before the titles with an announcer telling us Phil Silvers is in the episode.

Granny tells Jed that Drysdale is coming by to pick up the money that Honest John didn't take. Jed says he promised the money to Honest John. Jethro wants to think of a way to help with the smog problem. Drysdale shows up with an armored truck. Drysdale had Miss Jane dress up as a guard to take the money. Jed recognizes Miss Jane right away. Jed won't let Drysdale take the money. Miss Jane tells Jethro he must convert the gas powered car engine to something else, like steam or electricity. Drysdale tells Jed that only the President can get the right people for the smog problem. Jethro converts the truck to steam (evidently either wood-fired or coal-fired, producing thick clouds of smoke). The Clampetts decide to travel to Washington DC to give their fortune to the President to fight the smog problem. Jethro converts the truck to electricity (requiring a very, very long extension cord). Drysdale finds a way for Jed to keep the money in the bank, a least for now. The Clampetts head for Washington.

Note: A young (early thirties) Rich Little impersonates President Richard M. Nixon, John Wayne, and Ed Sullivan.

The Clampetts fly to D.C. in hopes of giving the President money to fight the smog problem. Con artist Honest John Schafer (Phil Silvers) and his wife Flo (Kathleen Freeman) follow them out there. Honest John meets the Clampetts at the White House. John tells them that the President made him in charge of the committee that will fight smog. Jed writes a check for one million dollars and gives it to Schafer, who says he will give it to the President. The family says they'd like to meet the President. John tells them it will take some time to get a security clearance. He sets the family up in a hotel. Flo thinks they should take the money and run. To get even more money from Jed, Honest John plans to sell Jed the White House. John tells Granny and Jed that the President doesn't own the White House. Flo dresses like a Native American and claims to own the land that the White House is built on. After some conversation, Princess Sitting Hawk (Flo) agrees to sell the White House to Jed. The Clampetts then ask a White House Guard (Richard Erdman) if they can see the President. Thinking they are crazy, the Guard gets them into a car to be taken away.

Jed tells Honest John that they tried to get into the White House to give the President the deed that Sitting Hawk (Flo) sold them. But instead they were taken to a psychiatric ward for evaluation. John tells them that he'll go to the White House right away and speak to the President. Again, Flo just wants to take the money and run. John wants to get more. Elly finds four kittens and names them after Presidents. Meanwhile back at the mansion, Drysdale is selling tickets to school children to see Elly's animals. Drysdale wants Miss Jane to be part of the show, but she refuses. She informs Drysdale that Jed has written two $1,000,000.00 checks. Drysdale tells her to fly to D.C. and get the Clampetts. Drysdale doesn't know it's Honest John that is again getting the money. Honest John proceeds to sell Jed the Capitol Building. At the hotel, a waiter (Cliff Norton) misunderstands things that the Clampetts say and thinks they're crazy. John sells Jed several more Washington landmarks. Once again the Clampetts tell John what a wonderful man he is and Elly names one of her kittens after him. Honest John refuses to keep the money and tears up the checks.

Elly's bear Fairchild isn't feeling well and she wants Granny to doctor him. Rev. Matthew Templeton's lookalike brother Mark, a Navy frogman, shows up at the bank. All the secretaries are driven wild by his good looks. He asks Miss Jane if she could take him to the Clampetts. Meanwhile, Jethro eats the potus Granny made to put on Fairchild's chest. Mark meets Jed and Granny and she finds out that he is single. Once he learns that Mark went to see Elly, Drysdale tells Jed that he was the one that sent him. Mark meets Elly and they spend some time together. Mark tells her that he works under water with dolphins and whales. Jed makes Granny promise to leave the two alone. Elly explains to Granny what Mark does in the water. After something Mark says to Granny, she believes that he is half man and half frog. Mark wants to show Elly his diving suit by the swimming pool. Granny sees Mark with his diving pants and swim fins on and is even more convinced the water turns him into a man frog. Granny warns Elly that Mark is a frog man and she says she knows. Granny tries to tell what she thinks to Jed, but he thinks she's been at her moonshine.

Ellie continues dating Mark Templeton over Granny's objections, who is convinced he is part frog. After Elly comes home from a date, she tells Jed and Granny that she's going on a picnic with Mark the next day. Granny goes outside and hears a frog. She thinks Mark is still around. The next morning, Granny goes to speak with Miss Jane. After talking to her, Granny decides to put her medical knowledge to work trying to figure out a cure for being half-frog. Elly is preparing the food for the picnic. Jed is going to keep Mark from eating his daughter's cooking, so he has Jethro get some store bought food. When Jethro gets back, Jed finds he's eaten all the food. Mark arrives and Granny gives him a potion which he reluctantly drinks. Elly and Jethro go to get some more food. Jed tells Mark and Mark says he'll meet Elly at the restaurant where she's getting the food. After Mark leaves, Granny finds a frog outside. She believes that her potion worked the wrong way and turned Mark completely into the frog. Granny hides the frog from Jed. Granny tries to give the frog a tonic to turn it back into Mark. Granny speaks with Miss Jane and somehow gets the idea that if Elly kissed the frog, it would turn Mark back. When Granny sees Mark again, she thinks her advice to Elly worked.

Jethro is still trying to teach Duke how to fetch. Mark is supposed to come by to see Elly. Jed wants Granny and Jethro to keep away from Mark and Elly so they can have some alone time. Jethro tries to explain to Granny about Mark being a Naval frogman. Mark arrives and Granny checks his feet to make sure they're not webbed. Granny is desperate to keep Mark from being a frog so he can eventually marry Elly. To thank Miss Jane for her help, Granny brings her a frog. That way Miss Jane can kiss it and have it change into a man for herself. Mark wants to show Elly how to scuba. Jed has a sweet heart to heart talk with Elly. Granny continues to believe that every time Mark enters the water, he turns into a frog. Mark has his full scuba outfit on and Granny panics. She is also alarmed that Elly and Jethro want to be frogmen like Mark. Miss Jane brings Elly the frog that Granny gave her. Mark tells Elly he'll get her a scuba outfit. Elly puts the frog into the pool and Granny thinks it is Mark. Believing Granny is having bad dreams about frogs, Miss Jane refers her to psychiatrist Dr. Klingner (Richard Deacon). Granny brings the frog with when she goes to see Dr. Klingner. The two have a confusing conversation about Elly and her liking her animals.

Granny continues to believe that when Elly kisses the frog that is around, it turns back into Mark. Mark comes by with Elly's scuba outfit. Granny tells them to please stay out of the water. When they say they're going to the pool, Granny jumps on Mark's back. Dr. Klingner prescribed a tranquilizer for Granny and Jed makes her take it. Granny has a dream that Elly marries a giant frog in a Naval Uniform. Granny tries to stop the wedding. When Elly kisses Mark, she turns into a giant frog. Granny wakes up and again tries to keep Mark and Elly out of the water. Meanwhile, to get on Mark's good side, Drysdale pretends he was in the Navy as well. Granny sees Mark and Elly wearing their scuba suits in the pool and thinks they're both turning into frogs. When Drysdale tries to take credit for bringing Mark and Elly together, Granny pushes him into the pool. Thinking it will cheer her up, Jethro brings Granny two frogs he found. Granny visits Dr. Klingner with the two frogs and she wants him to turn them back into Mark and Elly. When Granny comes home she sees Mark and Elly and tells Miss Jane to thank Dr. Klingner.

Jed tells Jethro that Granny's afraid of the water. Granny remains convinced that going in the water is turning everyone into frogs. She suggests to Elly that Mark become a cowboy instead. When Elly tells her how much food is in the ocean, Granny knows why Jethro wants to be a frogman. Mark comes by and Granny mentions being a cowboy. Jed tells Granny that Jethro is in the water practicing to be a frogman. She goes to the pool and finds a frog that she believes is Jethro. Miss Jane calls Jed and tells him that Granny is there trying to get the secretaries to kiss the frog. Granny takes the frog to Dr. Klingner in the belief he is able to return frogs back into humans. She tells Dr. Klingner about Jethro's family and how she's an M.D., mountain doctor. Jethro goes to the bank to get Granny, but she already left. Miss Jane tells Jethro to get the frog from Klinger. Granny is happy when Jethro comes home. Mark offers to teach Jed how to be a frogman. Granny jumps on Jed's back to stop him from going in the water. Jed gives Granny a tranquilizer but she doesn't take it. Now Granny believes Jed has been turned into a frog and she brings him to Dr. Klingner. She tells him how Jed the frog is a millionaire and has a mansion. When Granny sees Jed back at home, she thinks Dr. Klingner worked his magic again.

Mark shows Granny and the rest of the family a film about his navy job to help her understand his frogman activities. She remains unconvinced. Mr. Drysdale is still trying to get on Mark's good side by pretending he was in the Navy also. He even has Miss Jane dress in a navy outfit. But when Drysdale hears from Mark that Jed wants to invest millions in underwater farms, Drysdale throws Mark out of his office. Drysdale now wants Elly to stop seeing Mark and talks to Granny about it. Granny brings more frogs to Dr. Klingner thinking they are her family. Miss Jane explains to Dr. Klingner that Granny believes that Jed and the rest turned into frogs when they went into the water. He tells Miss Jane that his hobby is scuba diving. If Granny sees him in the water maybe her fear of the water will go away. Miss Jane brings Klingner to the mansion. Granny later thinks that even Dr. Klingner has turned into a frog and she brings the frog to Klingner's wife Sharon. Granny hopes that Sharon can change him back by kissing him. Granny returns after a while and sees Klingner and knows the kiss worked.

Mark gives Elly a seal and she shows it to Jed. Jed tells Elly to not show the seal to Granny, because she'll just get upset. Granny sends for Shorty Kellems (Shug Fisher). She tells Shorty that Elly is dating a frogman and Jed wants to farm the ocean. She wants him to pretend to be Elly's boyfriend to drive Mark away. Granny tells Mark that Elly and Shorty were engaged at one time. She then says that Shorty's a killer and that Mark better be careful. Shorty meets Mark and ruins Granny's story. Meanwhile, Drysdale intends to tell Jed that oceanography is stupid. Jed comes by and Miss Jane is surprised when Drysdale agrees with Jed. Drysdale causes Miss Jane to start crying. Granny continues to tell Mark that Elly and Shorty were an item. Elly and Jed come by and Elly tells Mark she was never promised to Shorty. Jed and Mark figure out what Granny is up to. Drysdale comes by with Miss Jane gagged and in a straitjacket. Drysdale leads Jed to believe that the idea of him giving millions to the ocean project has made Miss Jane mentally unstable. So, Jed decides to not spend the money just yet in order to help Miss Jane. Granny tells Shorty to not let Mark get him into the water. Granny thinks Mark has turned Shorty into a seal and that Jed is happy about it.

Granny stills believes that Shorty has been changed into a seal. Granny tries to get Dr. Klingner to cure Shorty, but he is out of town. Then, after threatening Mark, she thinks he has changed Shorty back. When Shorty tells Granny that Mark is a nice guy, she gives him raw fish to eat. Miss Jane and Secretary Elizabeth Gordon inform Drysdale that they have a check for Jed for 48 million. Drysdale comes up with a sob story to get Miss Jane to leave. He then forces Elizabeth to help him prevent Jed from taking his money. Drysdale dresses as Napoleon to make Jed think taking the money has caused Drysdale to lose his mind. Jed leaves without his money. Meanwhile, Granny wants Jethro to drive her to the airport so she can fly back to the hills. But because of something Jethro says, Granny gets the idea that if Mark tastes Elly's cooking, he will leave. Shorty brings Miss Gordon to the mansion and she gives Jed the check. Drysdale finds out and is furious. Jed finds out about Granny's plan. Granny tells Elizabeth to not go into the water with Shorty. Jed forces Granny to cook the food. Granny thinks Shorty and Miss Gordon have been changed into seals. Then Drysdale shows up in his Napoleon outfit to talk to Jed.

Note: Lori Saunders from Petticoat Junction appears as Elizabeth Gordon, a secretary at the Commerce Bank. Petticoat Junction was canceled the previous spring during the Rural Purge.

Jed explains to Mark and Elly that Granny thinks Mark is half frog. Jed wants to bring Granny to the pool. She thinks they are going to drown her or change her into a water critter. Granny finally grasps that Mark is not half-frog, and wants him to date Elly again. While Jed goes to get the check he's going to give Mark, Granny hints to Mark about marriage. Mark tells Elly he is resigning his Navy commission to pursue oceanography research. Mark was going to deposit Jed's check in a special account in Drysdale's bank. But because of Drysdale's attitude, Mark will go elsewhere. When Drysdale steals from Mark the check Jed gave him, Miss Jane quits. Drysdale tries to talk Miss Jane into staying, but it doesn't work. Miss Jane says she's going to rent a cottage on the beach and watch the arrival of the Grunion. Drysdale needs Mark to stay in the Navy so he can't be treasurer of Jed's oceanography project. Drysdale goes to the mansion in Navy gear. He makes the Clampetts believe that Mark is quitting the Navy because he is a coward and afraid to fight against an imminent invasion of Grunion. Drysdale says the Grunion are a war-like people from the island of Grun. Jed decides the family should go and fight the Grunion as well.

The Clampetts learn that the invaders from the island of Grun are due on the California coast. Drysdale explains to secretary Helen about his plan to keep Mark in the Navy. Miss Jane comes by the mansion and tells them that many people will be on the beach to get the grunion. She invites them to come by her cabin. Having no idea who or what the grunion are, the Clampetts head down to the beach to defend it from invasion. Miss Jane goes to the bank to bring Helen some grunion. Drysdale learns that the Clampetts are going to the beach and they'll find out what grunion really are. The family gets to the beach, build a sand wall and put up their Confederate Flag. All Jethro cares about is eating something. Granny and Jethro go to look for Miss Jane's place. Miss Jane meets up with Jed and Elly. Not knowing the Clampetts think grunion are fierce fighters, she explains that you don't shoot grunion, you catch them by hand. This confuses Jed and Elly, who thought there would be more of a fight. They believe all the surfers they see are the invaders. They also believe that the grunion are poor sailors because they keep falling off their little flat boats. Elly goes to warn Miss Jane. Elly captures one of the boy surfers. Jethro then brings a girl (Susan Bernard) back to the camp. The boy and girl both admit to being grunions after being offered something to eat.

Jed and Granny come to like the boy and girl that they believe to be grunions and wonder why Drysdale told them they were bad. Jethro says they are prisoners, but Jed wants to let them go. Drysdale sends secretary Helen out to find Miss Jane. He needs Miss Jane's help before the Clampetts find out he made up the story about grunion being warlike invaders. Jed tells Miss Jane that they are going back home. Helen asks Miss Jane to come back to work. Miss Jane does go to the bank, but thinks that Drysdale will never change. Drysdale promises to be a better person and not lie to the Clampetts and Miss Jane agrees to come back. When he learns from Helen that the Clampetts still believe the grunion are people, he goes back on his word to Miss Jane. Drysdale tells Jed he fought a battle on the island of Grun. Jed says that the grunion on the beach were very mild people. Drysdale said those were the deserters. Drysdale even has a man pose as a Navy medic who needs to take him to surgery. Jed promises not to take any money out of the bank. Jed now believes the real grunion fighters are coming that evening and he wants to go back to the beach. Miss Jane revolts and organizes the female bank employees in protest. The bank's secretaries form a union called GRUN (Girls Resist Unfair Neglect). They take their protest of Mr. Drysdale to the beach, leading the Clampetts to believe that the grunions are solely female. Jethro decides to swim to the island of Grun to see all the girls.

The women employees at the bank continue to picket against Drysdale's unfair work practices. Miss Jane asks Drysdale to negotiate but he refuses. The Clampetts drive past the bank and see the girls. To help them out, Jed tells them they can stay at the mansion. The Clampetts are caught in the middle where Jed tries to hear both sides but Granny and Elly are sympathetic to the secretaries' plight. Jed recalls when Drysdale told Jed he fought a battle on the island of Grun. Drysdale hears of Jed's offer and that the girls threaten to tell Jed everything he has done. Drysdale tricks the girls into believing he will negotiate with them and then he locks the girls in his office. Drysdale goes to the mansion and pretends he's back from surgery. He says that Miss Jane has been brainwashed by the GRUN girls. After Granny thinks that Drysdale harmed one of the girls, she throws him to the ground. Miss Jane and Helen climb out the window and head to the mansion to tell Jed of Drysdale's lies. Granny arrives at the bank and climbs up to the window. Miss Jane and Helen arrive at the mansion. Jed tells Drysdale he wants to hear their side of the story. After Granny finds out what happened to the girls at the bank, she teaches Drysdale a lesson.

Miss Jane and the bank's secretarial staff continue to picket against Mr. Drysdale's repression. Drysdale has two guards try to remove the women, but Susie and her knowledge of karate stops them. Jethro cooks up some food but eats it all, leaving Jed with nothing. Granny and Elly are picketing in front of the mansion. Jed keeps trying to go along with the women, but Jethro keeps ruining any progress Jed makes. Drysdale brings in Banzai Sakito, the number-one karate fighter in the world, to stop the rebellion in front of the bank. Banzai demolishes Helen Thompson's car with a karate chop. After Susie's karate chops on Banzai fail to do anything, the women leave. Jed calls Drysdale and tells him about Granny and Elly picketing. Drysdale brings Banzai over to the Clampetts' to stop Granny and Elly, but Granny takes care of him. Granny and Elly decide to move in with Miss Jane. Jed begs them to take Jethro with them. Feeling disgraced, Banzai stays with Jed and Jethro.

Jed and Jethro are still fending for themselves as Granny and Elly are still at Miss Jane's place. Banzai Sakito is still feeling humiliated and is staying with Jed and Jethro. Drysdale tells them that he's going to pick up Banzai's geisha girls to help run the mansion. Meanwhile at Miss Jane's place, Elly's chimp Betsy gets Granny rolled up in the couch bed. Betsy then gets Granny stuck in the Murphy bed. Drysdale arrives with the three geisha girls. Miss Jane sneaks Elizabeth, Susie and Helen into her small studio apartment as a headquarters for their cause. Miss Jane has to keep the women's presence a secret from her landlord Foster Phinney (Charles Lane). Thinking they are types of food, Jethro asks for a karate chop and a judo roll. He winds up on the floor each time. Because of Phinney, Granny has to cook on the roof of the building. Jed is starting to enjoy being pampered by the geisha girls. Granny calls Jed and asks if he's suffering yet and is willing to concede to women's lib. Jed says he should probably suffer a few more days.

Miss Jane finds a way for Granny to bring the food to Jed and Jethro. Granny comes by the mansion, and seeing a resting Jed and Jethro, think they've starved to death. But Miss Jane explains to her that Jed and Jethro are living a life of leisure. The girls want to teach Jed, Jethro, and Drysdale a lesson because of their luxurious lifestyle at the mansion.

Miss Jane asks Elly if she would like to work at the bank. She hopes that with Elly there, Drysdale will have to abide by his contract with the secretaries. Jed and Granny think it will give Elly a chance to meet some men. Granny dresses Elly up and she arrives at the bank in a flapper girl outfit. Not recognizing her, Drysdale kicks her out of the office. After realizing what he did, Drysdale apologizes to Elly. Miss Jane drives Elly home to change. Miss Jane tells Jed that she's worried that any man that courts Elly will be looked upon as a fortune hunter. Miss Jane suggests that Elly move in with her until she can find her own place.
