Plot

The wacky world of "insider trading" is roundly spoofed in this episode. When Jed Clampett announces that he'd like to share his crawdad shipment from back home with banker Drysdale, a pair of stock investors overhear the conversation and assume that J.D. Clampett has cornered a "hot stock" called Crawdad. Veteran character actors Lester Matthews and Addison Richards play misguided investors Pendleton and Lucus. "The Great Crawdad Hunt" originally aired on April 15, 1964. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
