Ever on the lookout for new sources of income, Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) invites young doctor Matthew Bailey (Alan Reed Jr.) to set up his practice at the Shady Rest. Unfortunately, Joe forget to ask permission of hotel owner Kate (Bea Benaderet)--and she's dead set against turning her place into an outpatient clinic. Evidently, this episode was intended to introduced Doc Bailey as a regular Petticoat Junction character; curiously, once he's been established on the show, the good doctor is never seen again!
