While staying with Oliver and Lisa Douglas (Eddie Albert, Eva Gabor), Arnold the pig witnesses a bank robbery. Normally, he'd be able to "squeal" to the cops concerning the crooks' identity -- but alas, Arnold is suffering from laryngitis. Meanwhile, holdup men Danny (Milton Selzer) and Charlie (Al Lewis) decide to kidnap Arnold -- but end up with handyman Eb (Tom Lester) instead. (Gee, anyone could have made that mistake!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- Milton Selzer, Al Lewis, (more)

The citizens of Hooterville are thrilled when Lisa (Eva Gabor) announces the eminent arrival of the son of a WWII war hero. What Lisa has failed to mention is that the distinguished visitor is a duck named Drobney. However, she hasn't misrepresented the situation: Drobney's feathered father was indeed instrumental in defeating the Axis, as illustrated in a riotous flashback. For the record, "Son of Drobney" originally aired the same night as the debut episode of All in the Family -- which didn't have any ducks in the cast. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Despite a severe lack of financial resources, handyman Eb (Tom Lester) persists in his plans to marry his sweetheart Darlene (Judith McConnell). Now Eb wants to get an engagement ring, but of course he hasn't the money to purchase the rock. Generous Lisa (Eva Gabor) offers her own engagement ring as a wedding present -- and thus the ball starts rolling for another typical Green Acres avalanche of crossed purposes and misunderstandings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- Judith McConnell, Robert Foulk, (more)

Most sitcoms of the '70s treated the Women's Liberation Movement with derision, and Green Acres was no exception. Having been fired up by feminist rhetoric, Lisa (Eva Gabor) decides that she is fully capable of doing "men's" work, and thus she insists upon performing all the farm chores. As for hubby Oliver (Eddie Albert), he is relegated to the humiliating position of househusband (or at least, it was considered humiliating way back when). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Eddie Albert plays a dual role in this episode, as gentleman farmer Oliver Douglas, and Oliver's exact double, a bank robber named Charlie. When Charlie checks into a local hotel with his sexy gun moll Blanche (Chanin Hale), the neighbors are convinced that Oliver is cheating on his wife Lisa (Eva Gabor). One misunderstanding leads to another, and by episode's end both Oliver and Charlie are locked in the same jail cell -- and it is up to a very confused Lisa (Eva Gabor) to figure out who's who! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
