Jed Buys the Freeway

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.
