Oliver Wendell Douglas and his beautiful socialite wife Lisa have left the hustle and bustle of New York City behind to start a new life in the quaint rural town of Hooterville. In the latest episode of Green Acres season 5, titled "Where There's a Will," the couple finds themselves embroiled in a legal dispute with a flamboyant lawyer.

Oliver is the proud owner of a sprawling piece of land that he intends to turn into a farm. The catch is that the land was gifted to him by a distant relative, and the gift comes with several stipulations. According to the will, Oliver cannot sell the land, and it must remain a farm in perpetuity.

One day, Oliver receives a letter from a lawyer named Melvin Koblin. Koblin claims to represent the distant relative who gifted Oliver the land and demands that Oliver sells the property to him for a hefty sum. Oliver is taken aback by Koblin's sudden interest in the land, but he refuses to sell, citing the stipulations in his relative's will.

Koblin, however, is not one to take no for an answer. He shows up at the Douglas farm, and a heated exchange follows. Oliver and Lisa are shocked by Koblin's aggressive demeanor and his blatant disregard for the law. The couple realizes that they need legal representation and turn to the only lawyer in town, Eb Dawson.

Eb Dawson is not a traditional lawyer by any means. He wears overalls, chews tobacco, and spends his days farming instead of practicing law. However, he agrees to take on Oliver and Lisa's case, and the trio begins to work on a legal strategy.

Koblin, meanwhile, is not backing down. He hires a high-powered lawyer from New York City, and the stage is set for a legal battle between the two sides. Oliver and Lisa quickly realize that they are outmatched in terms of legal knowledge and experience. However, Eb comes up with a novel idea that just might turn the tide in their favor.

In the climax of "Where There's a Will," Oliver and Lisa face off against Koblin in court. The outcome of the case will determine the future of the Douglas farm and their new life in Hooterville.

The tension in the courtroom is palpable, as both sides present their arguments. As the judge begins to deliberate, Oliver and Lisa nervously await the verdict. Suddenly, Eb bursts into the courthouse, accompanied by a literal cow. The cow is the missing witness that will prove the validity of Oliver's claim to the land.

The judge is flabbergasted by the appearance of the cow, but Eb quickly explains that the cow is the most reliable witness in Hooterville. The judge, amused by Eb's unorthodox tactics, rules in favor of Oliver and Lisa, and the Douglas farm is saved from falling into the hands of Koblin.

In the aftermath of the legal battle, Oliver and Lisa are grateful to Eb for his help and make him an honorary member of the Hooterville Bar Association. Koblin, humiliated by his defeat, leaves town in disgrace.

"Where There's a Will" is a classic episode of Green Acres, full of humor, drama, and heart. It showcases the unique charm of Hooterville and its quirky residents while also exploring themes of justice and the importance of following the letter of the law. Fans of the show will not want to miss this hilarious and heartwarming episode.
