Jed puts up the cabin for Granny's birthday, which Mrs. Drysdale is not happy about. During the celebrating, a sociology student stops by and sees the Clampetts. She thinks they are Drysdale's servants and works to liberate them from what she believes to be a life of servitude.

Drysdale tries to save the cabin for the Clampetts, but his wife calls a professional home wrecker to tear down the mountain shack. Meanwhile, Ginny Jennings and her sociology professor come back to visit the Clampetts and see that they are still occupying the cabin.

The Clampett's give all their money to N.E.E.D.Y. & move out of the mansion. On their way out of Los Angeles they run out of gas near a national park & with no money decide to stay in the park & maybe chop down a few trees & raise a few crops. When Jed goes looking for the owner of the land he meets the ranger who tells them to leave, so they walk back to the Mansion & the girls from N.E.E.D.Y. give back the money.
