To get Elly's mind off of her critters, Jed calls Drysdale to see if there are any eligible men at the bank. Miss Jane comes up with the bank's new CPA, Fred Penrod. Jed meets Fred and there's some confusion over Fred's name. Meanwhile, Lafe Crick comes back to the Clampett mansion and brings Granny a Pawpaw tree. Granny is not happy to see Lafe. Lafe wants to plant the tree himself because he's still thinks Jed has his money buried in the ground. Jed tells Elly that Fred is coming to court her. Lafe overhears Jed and reminds him that he has a single son back home. Jed is not interested. Fred arrives and Lafe tries to scare him off by giving a bad description of Elly. Fred is about to leave and then he sees Elly. Granny hears Lafe call back home trying to get his son to come and marry Elly. Miss Jane and Drysdale arrive and run into Lafe. They still mistakenly believe Lafe is a hard worker and a dear friend of Jed's. Lafe digs a giant hole in the back yard.
