Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In the first episode of a two-part story, the staff of the Shady Rest have hopes of tripling and even quadrupling their business by booking an upcoming convention. Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan and his nieces have pinned their hopes on the salesmanship of Shady Rest owner Kate Bradley (Bea Benadaret), whom they are sure will easily win over the conventioneers. Unfortunately, Kate is nowhere to be found--and only the home viewers know that she has been trapped in a cave-in with a sprained ankle. (In addition to its plot relevance, the title of this episode is something of an inside joke: Bea Benadaret had just finished a four-year stint as the voice of "cave woman" Betty Rubble on The Flintstones).
