Duke the bloodhound has been very lethargic lately. Jed gets a letter from Mlle. Denise. She sends a picture of herself, but the letter is in French. Meanwhile, Margaret tells Milburn that her dog Claude is to be a father. She wants Milburn's help in picking names. Jed goes to the bank to have Miss Jane translate the letter for him. The letter says that Denise is coming back for the birth of her dog's puppies and hopes to see Jed. Denise arrives at the mansion and tries to speak English to Granny and Elly. Jed comes home and hopes to continue "courtin' and sparkin" Denise. Margaret shows the puppies nursery to Milburn. Duke shows up at the window and Margaret shoos him away. Margaret isn't nearly so happy when she finds the puppies share more in common with Duke than Claude. Miss Jane tries to teach some French to Jed. The Drysdale's bring Denise's dog and the puppies to the Clampetts. Jed takes Denise out to dinner and winds up with Duke and her poodle Colette.
