Poor Milburn Drysdale!

Warning: Spoilers
The "Widder", Mrs. Radnor Fenwick, wants to get financial backing for a housing development she is interested in. She approaches the Commerce Bank, and after pronouncing Milburn's name wrong several times is connected with Jed Clampett. Very rich Widow Fenwick wants to get backing so she doesn't spend her own money. She goes to Jed to get the ball rolling while Jed is looking to get a mother for Elly May who is still too rambunctious to handle. Mrs. Fenwick is all business, but Jed is all "courtin'". She arrives at the house in her limousine and immediately gathers up her little puppy and goes into the House. Granny thinking the puppy is a dowry, escort Mrs. Fenwick into the parlor. Jed is looking to try to court's Mrs. Fenwick to be able to get a mother for Elly May while all Mrs. Fenwick (the delightfully stuck-up Doris Packer) is doing is trying to do business. It's the typical merry mixup which the show is famous for. Granny, remembering Mrs. Fenwick from earlier is still convinced that Mrs. Fenwick is "dead busted broke". Mrs. Fenwick takes exception to this, of course. After Elly May crashes through the wall with her motorcycle, Jed asked Mrs. Fenwick if "she was game". Mrs. Fenwick, after saying no in no uncertain terms, leaves the room in a huff, sees Drysdale outside, puts him in his place and leaves. Jed meanwhile is holding the puppy in his arms, and Mrs. Fenwick reaches out for the puppy. Jed thinks she's reaching for him. He tells the chauffeur "Beasley" who he thinks is the real owner of "Fenwick House" where the Widow Fenwick lives that she's all his. He sends them away with his best wishes meanwhile, the one I really feel bad for (Drysdale) is left crying after losing a major moneymaking scheme. Typical Hillbillies fun.
