Synopsis of The Beverly Hillbillies: Bonnie, Flatt and Scruggs
This episode cashes in on the renewed popularity of frequent Beverly Hillbillies guest stars Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, who wrote and performed most of the background music for the 1967 film hit Bonnie and Clyde. Ever seeking out publicity for the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills, Mr. Drysdale dreams up a TV commercial wherein the Clampett family dresses up like the Barrow gang and robs the bank. Inevitably, Flatt and Scruggs perform their hit tune "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," as well as a new composition, "The Ballad of Milburn Drysdale." The supporting cast includes buxom Joi Lansing as Mrs. Flatt (sic!), and raspy-voiced Percy Helton, making his first appearance as downtrodden bank clerk Homer Cratchit. "Bonnie, Flatt and Scruggs" was first telecast on November 20, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
