The Beverly Hillbillies
Jed Becomes a Banker
Season 1, Episode 24 · Aired 1963-03-06
Synopsis
Rival banker Bill Hacker's bank will be competing against Drysdale's bank in a skeet shoot competition. Bill claims one of his employees is a crack shot. Drysdale isn't worried as his Vice President, Mr. Crandell, is a great shot as well. But then Drysdale learns Crandell is in the hospital with several broken bones. When Drysdale finds out about Jed's sharpshooting skills, he makes him bank vice president. Drysdale and Miss Jane take the Clampetts to the skeet shooting range to explain what to do. Milburn finds out that the rest of the family are excellent shots as well. After Hacker talks to Jed, he figures out Drysdale's scheme. Hacker demands that he be allowed to pick a different employee. Hacker sees Granny cleaning Jed's office and, assuming she is the cleaning lady, picks her. The only thing is, Granny is just as good a shot as Jed.
