Granny (Irene Ryan) gets creative by boiling pool water for washing since the mansion is missing a good old-fashioned pump! Meanwhile, Elly May (Donna Douglas) is treated to a surprising feminine makeover by none other than Miss Hathaway (Nancy Kulp). Back at the Clampett cabin, cousin Pearl (Bea Benaderet) has her eye on the visiting oil man and seizes the opportunity to ride with him to the nearest phone.
These hilarious scenes of adjustment make “Meanwhile, Back at the Cabin” a classic episode of The Beverly Hillbillies.
