In this episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, eccentric oil tycoon Jed Clampett unexpectedly finds himself thrust into the role of vice president at the Beverly Hills Bank of Commerce. The episode centers on a skeet shooting competition between the bank's president, Mr. Drysdale, and the Clampett family.

Drysdale, a vocal opponent of unfair tactics, initially appears to be facing an uphill battle when one of his top competitors injures his partner, forcing Drysdale to pick a replacement on the spot. This unexpected turn of events prompts Jed to step up and be selected as his new partner.

The Clampetts initially take a humorous approach to the competition, engaging in less formal forms of target practice in the bank's yard. Ultimately, Drysdale's sportsmanship and integrity in action are highlighted as he captures the spirit of the competition despite the unexpected challenges.

Drysdale, realizing the importance of fair play, eventually randomly chooses an employee to partner with him, a display of humility and strength of character. Ultimately, Jed's new role as vice president results in a crucial display of good sportsmanship amid the family's humorous country-style interruptions.
