Due to a misunderstanding of something Mr. Drysdale said, Jed believes Mrs. Drysdale (Harriet MacGibbon) is a drinking woman. Margaret Drysdale is in Boston hoping to get cured of her ailment, but the doctors insist there's nothing wrong with her. Something Drysdale tells Granny reinforces the notion that Margaret is a drunk. Drysdale is at the Clampetts showing them how to use the phone when Margaret calls there. She has learned that the Clampetts have moved in next door to her and she wants to meet them to make sure they are the right type of people. Milburn tells her to stay in Boston. Miss Jane tells Drysdale that Margaret is on her way home. He sets Miss Jane on a plan to get them to go to Palm Springs for a few days. Elly is wearing a bathing suit and Jed and Granny are surprised at how small it is. Miss Jane suggests that Elly enter a "Princess of Palm Springs" beauty contest. Miss Jane lets it slip that Milburn wants them to go to Palm Springs so Margaret doesn't meet them yet. As a favor to Drysdale, they will go. Thinking the Clampetts are gone, Milburn arrives at the mansion with Margaret. She sees Jethro with a shot gun and faints. Jed and Granny see her passed out in the car and think she's drunk.
