One of my favorite sitcom episodes of all time. Viewed it again after who knows, maybe 15 years? Even before this viewing it was vividly fresh in my memory. Oliver & Lisa meet by chance old acquaintances Jesse White and his floosy wife at a farmer's convention. White is a crook turned farmer who trys to to help the Douglas's by dishonest means.

Just a brilliant episode with one big laugh after another. Pat Butram whines about real life movie pal Gene Autrty always getting to kiss the girl at the end of a movie. Eva Gabor is stunningly adorable dancing with White while a pooped Oliver rests. White rattles off how he built his farm using strongarm tactics. Neighbors who refused to sell to him had tractors explode, and hired hands would have accidents. Then, White would come to the aid, and buy them out at 10 cents to the dollar.
