Mr. Drysdale tells the Clampetts that he is building a city on the location where Jed's movie studio is located. The Clampetts mistake a western prop town for the city.

The Clampetts decide to run the store on the empty studio Western set but can't understand why they don't have any customers.

The Clampetts are still at the studio hoping their "city" prospers. Mr. Drysdale is still trying to tear the studio down for his building project. A famous Hollywood columnist enlists Jed's help to save the studio.

Jed gets an honorary doctorate when he donates money to the college that Mr. Drysdale attended. Now the family thinks he can practice medicine, which doesn't sit well with Granny.

Mr. Drysdale talks the butler into staying on, posing as a boarder, so that he can teach the Clampetts how to be more civilized.

The Clampetts still don't realize that Mr. Pinckney is their butler instead of their boarder. When he tries to leave them, Granny thinks he is trying to skip out on paying his rent.

Hospitalized for nerves from dealing with the hillbillies, Mrs. Drysdale threatens to stay there until Mr. Drysdale gets rid of them, and she even sends for a specialist. Unfortunately, the Clampett clan is on their way to visit her.

Elly May loses another suitor to Miss Jane in another case of mistaken identity.

After the Clampetts accidentally run into a beatnik he's moves into the Clampett mansion, but neither he nor they know what to make of each other.

As a favor to Jed, Mr. Drysdale arranges for a playboy bank director (who normally only dates women half his age) to come court Granny, while Jed goes out with a beautiful woman who dates rich older men.

Granny wants Jed to find a wife and asks for Mr. Drysdale's help. He introduces Jed to Phyllis but learns too late that she is a gold digger, and becomes alarmed when they head to the track. But it's Granny they need to worry about.

Jethro decides to become a "double naught" spy and converts the family's truck into his idea of a Bondmobile. But he becomes the unwitting pawn in another banker's scheme.

With the arrival of spring the Countess returns for Granny's new batch of spring tonic. Granny thinks she's looking for a new husband and that Jed is her perfect match.

Mr. Drysdale owns a building that houses a beatnik's club. He hopes to get rid of them when they can't pay their rent but they find a new a sponsor: Jed Clampett.
