Jed Pays His Income Tax: After Granny scares off an IRS man with her double barrel 12-guage shotgun, Drysdale tells the "revenuer" the rags-to-riches story of the Clampett family.

Jethro's First Love: After hearing what he thinks is the special "music of love," Jethro falls hard for burlesque dancer Chickadee Laverne. Sharon Tate guest stars.
