Granny's Spring Tonic

Granny has made a batch of her annual spring tonic. The family is reluctant to take any. Miss Jane introduces Drysdale to her brilliant-but-frumpy bank protegee, Gloria Buckles. Gloria volunteers to take Jed some papers that need to be signed. What Miss Jane doesn't know is that Gloria is really a sultry gold-digger with eyes for Jed's $34 million. Granny mentions to Pearl that she gave Jed a double dose of her tonic. Pearl and Granny meet beautiful Gloria and are a little suspicious of her. They keep talking up to Gloria how old Jed is. Gloria takes Jed for a drive. Gloria claims that she has to marry a mountain man. Jed says he hates to see her be alone and that he'll think about it. Back at the mansion, Pearl tries to tell Gloria that Jed has no money. Jed says gather up the family because he might have an announcement. Pearl calls Drysdale, and he and Miss Jane come right over. Jed says marriage is a good idea. Jed must have seen through her scheme because he says she'll have to wait 3 or 4 years until Jethro is old enough.
