The Beverly Hillbillies - Episode Guide

Jed Clampett is told by a representative of an oil company that the swamp behind his shack is full of oil. (The oil company employee has been hauled in by Jed's daughter Elly May who asks whether she can keep him.) Later, Mr. Brewster, the head of the oil company, does a deal with Jed. Jed tells Cousin Pearl that he'll receive 25 to 100 of "some new kind of dollar." Pearl, thinking Jed has been "slickered", asks what kind of dollar he's talking about. "Million dollars," Granny, Jed's mother-in-law, replies. "Jed, you're a millionaire," Pearl says. "Yeah, that's what that Brewster fella said." Pearl convinces Jed to move to Beverly Hills, California (she pronounces it "Cal-i-forn-ee") and volunteers her son, Jethro, to drive Jed, Elly May and Granny there. Upon arriving, Granny complains the hills aren't that high. Jed says at least there are hills and "we'll be among our own kind of people." The Clampett clan mistakes their new home for a prison and the groundskeepers for prisoners. The Clampetts end up in jail, but Milburn Drysdale, their new banker, gets them freed. But, as Drysdale tries to take the Clampetts to their new mansion, the foursome flee, fearing they're going to prison.

The Clampetts begin to settle in their new home in Beverly Hills, California. They are having to adjust to things such as refrigerators (Granny remarks how a ham will require two days to thaw out), ovens and the "cement pond." Jed also is having to confront how his daughter Elly May is maturing. He tells her that he, in effect, raised her as a boy and should not have. Jethro also encounters a flamingo that he thinks is a chicken (which causes Jed to suspect Jethro has been sneaking drinks of moonshine). Meanwhile, Miss Hathaway, executive secretary to banker Milburn Drysdale, mistakes the Clampetts for "domestic" help. She thinks Granny is a cook and Elly a maid.The Clampetts begin to settle in their new home in Beverly Hills, California.

While Grannie boils pool water for washing (due to the "lack of a pump") and Ellie May gets a feminine make-over by Miss Hathaway, cousin Pearl is back at the cabin making eyes with the visiting oil man while he gives her a ride to the nearest phone.

Mr. Drysdale panics when Mrs. Drysdale comes back from Boston early, because she'll meet the Clampetts. He sets Miss Hathaway on a plan to get them to go to Palm Springs. Meanwhile, Grannie and Jed come to think Mrs. Drysdale is a drunk and make plans to cure her.

Grannie prepares her special mash to help cure Mrs. Drysdale of her drinking problem while Jed does as Mr. Drysdale suggests and buys stock: cows, goats, pigs, and chickens! Meanwhile, Mrs. Drysdale recovers from the shock of her first meeting with the Clampetts and is convinced she's imagining things.

Grannie wants to go home because folks is so unfriendly no one has come to call. Jed convinces her they should call on them, and they find that people welcome them and give them all manner of gifts when they show up on Halloween in their normal hillbilly clothes. Also, Jed works on getting Pearl to come visit while she's trying to get hitched to the oilman and find a young man for Jethrine.

Ellie May starts wearing dresses but takes it as an insult when someone says she looks like a city girl. Mr. Drysdale talks Jed into taking in his butler and upstairs girl in a plan to civilize the Clampetts, but they don't quite understand the idea of servants. Miss Hathaway takes Jethro bowling and begins to show an interest in him.

Jed enrolls Jethro at an exclusive Beverly Hills elementary school. Millicent Schuyler-Potts, the proprietor of the school, is aghast when Jed and Jethro show up, convinced this is part of some ghastly hoax. After Jed says that banker Milburn Drysdale is his neighbor, she calls the banker. It turns out that Drysdale's bank holds the mortgage on the school. Schulyer-Potts suddenly warms to the charms of the Clampetts, even if it means accepting Jethro as a fifth grader.

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's 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.

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 Drysdale's took Jed, so she decides to take one of the Drysdale's. When they get to the house, Jethro tries to take Marie the maid. Granny takes Ravenswood instead. At the jail, two psychiatrists 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's 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 Clampett's gate and Granny starts shooting. The three go to Drysdale's mansion.

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 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.
