synopsis
Joan Blondell guest stars as Florabelle Campbell, who many years ago had been at the center of a romantic rivalry between Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) and Sam Drucker (Frank Cady). Now that Florabelle has returned to Hooterville, Joe and Sam vie for a second chance to win her heart. But thanks to the exigencies of middle-aged spread and "snow on the roof", Florabelle fails to recognize either one of her former suitors! Paul Hartman makes the first of several recurring appearances as local barber Bert Smedley; conversely, series star Bea Benaderet (Kate Bradley) does not appear.
