The show follows the Clampett family, a group of rural Southern folks who strike it rich when they discover oil on their land.

Season 2 episode 30, titled "The House of Granny," starts with the Clampett family receiving a letter from Granny's sister, Effie. She invites them to visit her in the Ozarks, where she lives in a house that Granny helped build many years ago. The Clampetts decide to take a trip to visit their relatives and see their old home.

When they arrive at Effie's house, they find that it is in disrepair. The roof is leaking, the walls are crumbling, and the general state of the house is poor. Granny is saddened by the condition of the home, and she immediately starts thinking of ways to fix it up.

Jed, the patriarch of the Clampett family, decides to help out his sister-in-law by giving her a large sum of money to fix up the house. He orders his financial advisor, Mr. Drysdale, to transfer the funds to Effie's bank account. However, Drysdale mistakenly sends the money to a neighboring town where there is another woman named Effie with the same last name.

The Clampetts are unaware of the mistake and assume that the money has been received by Effie. They start making plans to buy new appliances, furniture, and other items to fix up the house. Meanwhile, the real Effie is still waiting for the money to arrive and is getting impatient.

As the Clampetts start to renovate the house, they realize that they are short on funds. Granny decides to start baking pies and selling them to the locals to raise money. Her pies are a huge hit, and soon, the whole town is buying them.

In the midst of all this, the real Effie shows up and demands to know where her money is. She is angry and confronts the Clampetts, thinking that they have stolen her money. When they realize their mistake, they feel embarrassed and offer to make it right by fixing up her house as well.

In the end, the Clampetts and Effie come to an agreement, and both houses are fixed up and beautiful once again. The episode ends with the Clampetts saying their goodbyes to their relatives and heading back to Beverly Hills.
