Jed, a poor Ozarks mountaineer, is out hunting when he accidentally discovers
an oil gusher on his property. Suddenly stinking rich, he packs up his family
and moves to Beverly Hills.
Now, living high on the hog in a mansion with a genuine “cement pond,”
Granny is determined to get beautiful Elly May married off to a suitable beau
while Jed does his best to steer his nephew Jethro with his sixth grade
“ed-a-ma-ca-tion,” toward solid career opportunities.
