The Bradley girls have reached the age when they want to spend all their time on the telephone. Unfortunately, the nearest receivers are miles away, and Kate (Bea Benadaret) can't afford to install a special line to the Shady Rest. Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) comes to the rescue with the aid of some clunky army surplus phones and a few miles of barbed wire. (Had the cast but waited another year, they could have used the "telephone-pole phone" employed by their neighbors the Douglases on Petticoat Junction's spinoff series Green Acres).
