Synopsis by Hal Erickson
With Kate still "out of town" (star Bea Benaderet's illness kept her from appearing), the Shaddy Rest Hotel is taken over by her southern cousin Mae Belle Jennings (Shirley Mitchell). In characteristic fashion, Mae Belle manages to alienate everyone in town in record time. Goodness knows what fate might have befallen the Shady Rest had not Kate's sister Helen come to the rescue. This episode introduces Rosemary DeCamp in the recurring role of Aunt Helen.
