Inside the trunk that Granny gets from cousin Pearl which has something for every Clampett is an old fashioned crank telephone. This episode contains one of the funniest sight gags of the series. it is so sunny that you can know it is coming and still laugh out loud at it. Granny sets up the crank phone in the mansion Kitchen & then sends Jethro out to the pole too hook her up to a party line. The set up & physical comedy of this scene is the best in the entire series. Once you watch it, if you watch it again you will laugh before it happens - it is just that funny. Enjoy this one if you get a chance to see it anytime. The joke is so good that Granny refers back to what happened in jokes the next 2 or 3 episodes of the series.
