Green Acres

New York lawyer Oliver Douglas quits his job at the law firm of Felton, O'Connell, Clay, Blakely, Harmon, Dillion & Pasteur and buys a farm in Hooterville, sight unseen. The locals are astounded that Haney had managed to unload the place on someone and try to talk him out of it. Laying her eyes on the dilapidated farmhouse for the first time, Lisa bursts into tears.

Lisa gets her first look at their dilipidated--and empty--farmhouse and is horrified. Oily Mr. Haney who previously owned the dump took everything with him including the bathroom fixtures and tries to resell them to Oliver. Eb one of Haney's workers is hired on as their farm hand. Lisa goes out to meet the locals most of whom have entered a pool wagering on how long the Douglases will stay. Lisa is ready to immediately return to New York but after a chat with Kate Bradley she decides to give farm life a try.

Oliver wants to start farming but Lisa demands he have their house redecorated first. Sam Drucker recommends a decorator from Pixley. Kate Bradley tries to tutor Lisa in the kitchen since she doesn't know the first thing about cooking. Kate starts by showing her how to make something easy: hotscakes. Adding to the chaos is Oliver's mother who arrives to rescue Lisa from her nightmarish country life.

Oliver's mother sends the Douglases their furniture from New York while she also rides down to visit them. While Oliver and Lisa wait for the furniture to arrive Eunice is stuck with Uncle Joe on his handcar getting to Hooterville. Things go bad to worse when Eunice finds herself the target of Newt Kiley's bull and the Douglases' furniture is delivered to Mr. Haney's instead.
