Plot

Singer Bobby Pickett of "Monster Mash" fame makes his second Petticoat Junction appearance, this time in the role of shy high school student Walter Thorp. As the only male in Hooterville High's home economics class, poor Walter is subjected to a lot of teasing by his fellow students. Things get so bad that Walter is in danger of flunking the class. Fortunately, Bobbie Jo (Gunilla Hutton) takes pity on Walter, and enlists the help of her mom Kate (Bea Benaderet) to secure the boy a passing grade. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
