In the previous episode, the Commerce Bank secretarial pool (at the behest of the head Golddigger Drysdale) dumped Shorty (into the Ceement Pond) when they found out he had only 200 dollars to his name. He spent this episode trying to regain their interest (another bank joke), promising never to play checkers again (he thought his weakness for the game was their reason for dumping him). Meanwhile, Granny had him doing chores to work off his energy. Jed convinced Shorty that girls from the hills back home were just as pretty and more sincere than city girls, so Shorty slipped a proposal of marriage under Ellie's door. Jed convinced Shorty he had just proposed to Granny, so Shorty took off to the hills in his jalopy.
The Beverly Hillbillies was one of the best sitcoms of the 60's; unfortunately, this is one of the blandest episodes I can remember. Probably helped to speed the demise of the series.
