Episode Summary

The Clampetts are preparing for a visit from the great mayor of Bug Tussle, even rolling out the red carpet. Of course, the Clampetts have no idea about how Mayor Hogg really is. In fact, he steals other great speeches from great minds in history. When the Clampetts visit the bank, Drysdale tries to impress Jed by planning a giant party for the Mayor, and when he asks to speak to the Mayor alone, Hogg reveals he has misused funds and asks Drysdale for money to keep himself and the city out of trouble. Drysdale turns him down. Mayor Hogg tries to ask Jed for the money, but backs out. Jed tells Granny that he thinks Hogg was trying to propose to her, and Jethro mentions to Hogg he’d get Granny’s millions if they married. Hogg prepares to propose to Granny, but when Drysdale returns with the check, the Mayor runs away. Granny knows that Bug Tussle needs him more than she does.

    The Beverly Hillbillies will always be one the very best comedies ever !!!! And the best single show ever was: The Mayor of Bug Tussle !!!! So many scammers tried to scam the Clampetts but they were your typical types "boring" -- Whereas, Mayor Amos Wentworth Hogg was the funniest, freshest character actor ever !!!!!! 10 ++++++ In other words he was a totally awesome scammer !!!!!!!!! Every time I see Mayor Hogg I laugh more and more !!!!!! CBS spun off Pettycoat Jct. and Green Acres, well they should have spun off a show called "The {Crooked} Mayor of Bug Tussle" !!!!
