The Beverly Hillbillies

- Season 8

(1969)

Granny is worried that Elly Mae is an old maid at 20 while Jed is concerned about Jethro joining college protesters. They both miss the hills, so they decide to head back to the Ozarks, which upsets Mr. Drysdale.

After settling in at Silver Dollar City Jed, Granny, and Ellie greet old friends. Granny meets up with her old rival Elverna Bradshaw and restarts her feud. Jethro continues his college protests back in California.

The Clampets travel back to the hills to attend the Silver Dollar Fair. Granny and Elverna Bradshaw compete to find mates for their kin.

Miss Jane lends a hand in Granny's race to get Elly May married-off before Elverna Bradshaw's daughter, and finds an unwed winner wandering in the woods.

The family begins to make plans for Elly May's upcoming wedding to Matthew, but Mr. Drysdale finds himself preoccupied during the entire matter by the prospects that the wedding will lead him to lose his biggest account.

After Elly's wedding plans fall through because Matthew is unavailable, the Clampetts leave Silver Dollar City. They head to New York City where they encounter their old "friend", conman Shifty Shafer, who sells them Central Park.

Honest John continues to show the Clampetts around New York trying to "sell" them as many landmarks as possible. The police have given him a twenty four hour notice while Miss Jane and Mr. Drysdale try to get there to stop the con job.

The Clampetts settle on their new property of Central Park and Jed starts building a log cabin. Granny looks for possums but meets muggers instead giving them a lesson in manners. Mr. Drysdale pleads with them to return to California.

The Clampetts return to their mansion and Mr. Drysdale claims the veterinarian Dr. Graham is perfect for Elly. But Granny, after breaking her glasses, mistakes a seal for the veterinarian, leading to a series of misunderstandings.

Shorty Kellems comes to Beverly Hills for a visit. Mr. Drysdale misunderstands a conversation and mistakenly believes Shorty is wealthier than Jed, and begins to indulge him in every way possible to win his account.

Mr. Drysdale continues his misguided campaign to win Shorty Kellems as a depositor, and Shorty gleefully binges on all the attractive inducements.

Jethro is leading a wild life with Shorty. Granny is determined to get Shorty to return to the hills. Meanwhile, Mr. Drysdale would like Shorty to invest his money with the bank... enlisting the secretarial pool to persuade him!

Mrs. Drysdale's favorite nephew, Lance "Jetstream" Bradford, who after ten years is still a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force, comes for a visit. Milburn reluctantly gives him a job.

Lance is desperate to land a new depositor for the bank and tells Milburn he's bringing in an Air Force General.

Jethro comes to Hooterville in a general's uniform.

The Clampetts are rumored to be merging their interests with a rich tycoon.

Shorty Kellems delays his marriage to Elverna Bradshaw by having Mr. Drysdale throw him a wild bachelor party.

Elverna continues dragging Shorty to a Las Vegas wedding, as Mr. Drysdale deals with consequences from Shorty's bachelor party.

Shorty thinks he's figured out a way to avoid marrying Elverna Bradshaw.

Shorty Kellems spends the three day waiting period before marriage taking repeated "dips" in the bank's secretarial pool.

Shorty finally gets married, but it's to the wrong woman.

The Clampetts run Shorty's city bride, Gloria, through the rigors of rural living, trying to convince her she should annul her marriage to Shorty.

When Granny induces Jed, Elly, and Jethro to move into the nostalgic old cabin, Shorty Kellems exploits the now-unoccupied mansion.

Shorty's been sent back to the hills, but the Clampetts still have all his girl boarders to deal with in the mansion; and Mr. Drysdale has serious trouble when Jean Bell's brothers get the mistaken idea that he has enslaved their sister.

Honest John shows up with another scheme to get the Clampett millions for himself. Convincing them he's invented machines to blow the smog away, Jed finds trying to get his money from Mr. Drysdale nearly impossible.

Flo Shafer is intent on helping Shifty regain his scheming composure.
