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.

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.

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.

Mr. Drysdale convinces his self-absorbed stepson Sonny to date Elly May to Mrs. Drysdale's consternation, while Granny and Jed make preparations for Thanksgiving.

Sonny Drysdale decides he needs to be Pygmalion to Elly's Galatea and remake her from a hillbilly into a woman of society, while Granny uses love charms to heat up their relationship.

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 alter. 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.

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 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. Things eventually get straightened out when Elly says she doesn't want to marry Sonny.

The Clampetts take their first plane flight back home for Christmas to visit cousin Pearl, who is busy cooking up a feast to win Mr. Brewster's unwilling heart. Mr. Brewster insults Pearl when he asks her to be his housekeeper, while she thought it was going to be a proposal. Paul Winchell appears as Homer Winch, a man who has desires for Pearl.

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 Winchtries 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 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. Meanwhile, Pearl finds that Jethrine has packed Jazzbo Depew in a large trunk to take with. Jazzbo tries to explain to Jethrine that he can't leave his business now. Mr. Brewster comes by and thanks Pearl for breaking off their engagement. Back in Beverly Hills, Miss Jane dresses the vamp to meet Jethro at the airport. Drysdale welcomes the family at the airport. Jethro doesn't recognize Miss Jane and she pretends to be a Gypsy woman. At the mansion, Pearl annoys Granny with her talk about things needing cleaning around the place. Pearl does other things to annoy Granny. Jethro and Miss Jane arrive. The feuding starts between Granny and Pearl over who's running Granny's kitchen.

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.

Mrs. Drysdale leaves for a health farm, saying Mr. Drysdale is "going to have a new wife," while Mr. Drysdale tells Cousin Pearl he'd like her to keep his house. However, the Clampetts think he's wanting to marry Pearl, so Jed comes up with a plan to "save" the Drysdale's 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 Drysdale's 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 and Joe 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 tells Officer 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 Clampett's 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 and Gladys Flatt. 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's for making moonshine. Granny continues to apologize to Pearl. Dean and Kelly figure Granny doesn't know it's 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 it's owner flown in from Paris. French woman Mlle. Denise 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 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 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. 

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, 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 Clampett's before her arrival. She goes to the Clampetts, insults Granny and is chased away by Granny and Pearl. Smith-Standish goes to the Clampett's first and becomes enchanted with their antiques and way of life. Margaret goes to the bank and tells Drysdale what the Clampett's did to her. She insists that he get rid of them. Miss Jane tells Margaret that the chauffeur dropped Priscilla off at the Clampett's because he thought Margaret was there. Miss Jane drives the Drysdale's to the Clampett's. 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 Pricilla. Pricilla tries not to laugh. Mrs. Drysdale continues to be forced into doing "practices from the past" by Mrs. Smith-Standish. Pricilla 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. 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 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, 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 Drysdale's 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 starts to feel down in the dumps and not needed to the Clampett's seek Mr. Drysdale and Miss Jane's help in setting up a shin-ding so her spirits can be lifted by entertaining. Mr. Drysdale also fears that when his boss comes to town, he is going to be sent to far off Moose Jaw.

While making a visit to the bank, a couple accidentally bumps into the Clampetts' car. After the couple learns how much money the Clampetts are worth, they decide to sue them.

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. 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. Twombly comes to the mansion to apologize for the misunderstanding. Granny questions his doctoring skills. More confusing things happen and Twombly leaves.

Jethro wants to go back to Dr. Twombly to get his health certificate. Miss Jane tries to explain to Jethro that Twombly is a psychiatrist. Meanwhile, Granny says it's 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's 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, 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. 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, 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, 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 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 feel ill, so he can help Granny feel useful so she can keep her doctoring skills sharp. However, Mr. Drysdale soon stops by and eventually becomes an unwilling patient of Granny as well. Eventually, Mr. Drysdale's doctor stops by to see what became of his patient, and the two city boys get a big dose of mountain medicine.

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 aloud 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's 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 famers 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 sets the Clampetts up to become a laughing stock in hopes that they will move when Elly is due to start classes at a girls finishing school. Instead with the unknown help of Miss Jane, Elly's back hills look becomes the new school trend.

Mother and daughter Fenwick come to visit and the Clampett's are mistaken for new avant-garde social leaders. Meanwhile, Mrs. Drysdale thinks she is finally going to get rid of the bothersome Clampetts while the Clampett's mistake the Fenwicks for poor people.

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 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.
