As with many episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, this episode is part two of a two-part story arc. In the first part, Elly May enrolls in an exclusive all-girls finishing school, and through a series of Beverly Hillbillies-style farcical misunderstandings, the Clampetts come to believe that the wealthy, snobby Cynthia Fenwick, one of Elly's classmates, and her equally snobby widowed mother (the widda Fenwick) are poor and need their help. What follows is one of the funniest episodes of the series. Writers Paul Henning and Mark Tuttle have crafted a perfect script, and Joanna Barnes and Doris Packer play the uppity Fenwicks to perfection. We're also treated to another fine performance by Harriet MacGibbon as Mrs. Drysdale.
