Synopsis
"Cousin" Jake and Opal are still living in the mansion. Jake thinks that with Jed's money, he can make a movie with Marlon Brando. Jethro would like to be in the movies. When Jed offers Jake 10 million, Jake agrees to put Jethro in the movie instead of Brando. Jake buys Jed a new car. Elly wants to be a movie star as well and Jake has Opal take her into town to get her made up. Granny still thinks Jake and Opal are a bunch of loafers. Elly returns all dressed up and glamorous and Jake introduces her a Venus Adore. Granny changes her opinion of Jake when he tells her he can put her in a Hoot Gibson movie. After seeing a Marlon Brando movie, Jethro dresses in leather and drives a motorcycle into the mansion. Mr. Drysdale learns from Jake that Jed is financing his movie and wants to put a stop to it. Jed thinks the others are starting to act and dress ridiculously. Miss Jane comes up with a plan to make the others see how foolish they look by having Jed act and dress just as foolish.
