Jethro is hoping to get a part in Dash Riprock’s new TV series, getting a whole new image. Little does Dash know, the show, which is a rehash of every successful show since 1948, didn’t make it, and the female lead, Debbie Dimples, has impossible demands. Drysdale suggests that they use a monkey, Elly’s chimp Cousin Bessie. When Chapman and the director of the show come up to the mansion to audition Bessie, Granny, Jed, and Jethro think it’s for him. Jethro thinks he gets signed, when Bessie does, and tries to become a cowboy for the role in the series. He learns that it is Bessie who is the star and ends up becoming Bessie’s manager, dressing her like s starlet. After they see that Bessie’s sweetness and innocence has been taken away, Chapman and Von Schlepper decide to find another monkey.

Quotes

add »
Jethro: I’m Bessie’s ten percenter, Swifty Bodine.
(Jethro falls down the stairs)
Jed: Swifty’s a pretty good nickname for ya. You sure come down them stairs fast. (edit)
Elly: Well, Clyde won’t pull his wagon unless Cousin Bessie’s ridin’ in it. They got to be hair-turned fond of each other.
Jed: There’s one courtship I don’t hold much hope fer.
Dash: Who knows? Around this place anything can happen. (edit)
(Jethro is told that the horse Elly bought for him won’t move unless he’s pulling a wagon)
Jethro: Uncle Jed, I can’t ride to the movie studio pulling that thing.
Jed: Well, it’s either that or drive the truck.
Dash: Choice for ya. (edit)
(Miss Jane is wearing a glamour wig on top of her real hair for Dash)
Jane: Take a look at my hair.
Dash: I see it. I didn’t know it was that windy out.
Jane: This is a hair piece. I borrowed it from one of the girls in the secretarial pool.
Dash: Well, I, I, I like your own hair better. This is all drab and stringy around the edges.
Jane: That part is my own hair. (edit)
(Drysdale and Chapman are trying to get a monkey for the TV series Dash is starring in)
Drysdale: I know one we can get, right up at Jed Clampett's house.
Chapman: Not Jethro. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Jethro accidentally lassoes Granny, Jed says that she flies into the rose bush across the street. So, Granny ran all the way across their giant front yard, out the gate, across the street to that rose bush without stopping? That's a pretty far distance to get flung. (edit)
When Dash first mistook Jane for Elly, Miss Jane didn't like him very much. And for episodes after that, she didn't trust him and called him a bad influence. But in this episode she flirts with him and tries to kiss him. (edit)
