"The Beverly Hillbillies Volume 1-Meanwhile, Back At The Cabin
"The Clampetts struggle to swap the onvenience of their old mountain cabin for the luxuries to be found at their new mansion."
The millionaire Clampetts are astonished to learn that their bank account is overdrawn to the amount of 34 dollars and 70 cents. It turns out that there's been a mix-up in the bank records; the hillbillies have received a bank statement intended for J.D. Clampett (King Donovan), an unemployed actor. Conversely, J.D. discovers that his account suddenly contains Jed Clampett's 25 million-dollars -- and he intends to take full advantage of this clerical boo-boo.
"The Clampetts arrive in Beverly Hills and are mistaken for servants at their new mansion."

"The Beverly Hillbillies Volume 1-The Clampetts Strike Oil
"The very first episode in which Jed shoots his way to a $25 million fortune and switches his one room cabin for a 35 room mansion."
Misunderstanding Sonny Drysdale's promise to give Elly May a "ring;" in the morning, Granny is convinced that the two youngsters will soon be wed. This is music to Granny's ears, especially since she hopes to one-up her Cousin Pearl by marrying off Elly before Pearl's own daughter Jetherene can be hitched to erstwhile fiance Jazzbo Depew.
Perhaps inevitably, the Clampetts are visited by an Internal Revenue agent named Alan Landman (John Stephenson). Granny wants nothing to do with "revenooers," and chases Landman off her property with a shotgun. To mollify the outraged IRS man, banker Drysdale tells him the story of the Clampetts' overnight ascension to millionaire status -- as good an excuse as any to run off film clips from The Beverly Hillbillies' pilot episode (some of which had not been aired when the series premiered in September of 1962)
When Sonny Drysdale (Louis Nye) runs off in terror at the prospect of marrying Elly May, the Clampetts grab their shootin' irons and prepare for a feud against the Drysdale family. Descending upon the Drysdale manion, the hillbillies take "Mister Butler" (aka Ravenswood) prisoner, but Granny orders Jethro to let the pretty French maid go ("Aw, shucks!") Meanwhile, Drysdale tries to solve the dilemma in a civilized manner.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Leo Durocher appears as himself in this episode. Mr. Drysdale arranges for Jed and Jethro to play golf with Durocher, but when the Clampetts show up at the course, Leo the Lip assumes that they're caddies. The story goes off on a new tangent when Jethro demonstrates a dynamite pitching arm.

"Bank chief Mr Drysdale introduces his wife as a hypochondriac; the Clampetts mistake her for a serious drinker!"
This is the pilot show for the Beverly Hillbillies. Never really embraced by the critics, it became a popular smash across the world... In this episode Jed is given $25million by an oil company for his land...
