The Clampetts believe resuming his courtship of Elly is why Sonny Drysdale returns. His stepfather arranges a job as a beauty product salesman and his sixth stop at the Clampetts is where his merchandise is mistaken as courting gifts.
Sonny, Mrs. Drysdale's no good, spoiled offspring, comes home from college where he's still a sophomore in his 19th year. Mr. Drysdale decides it's time for him to settle down and get a job. Milburn gets him one as a door-to-door cosmetics salesman where maybe he'll find a wife in Elly May Clampett.—Dionysius Exiguus
