Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Here's one for the ages: Five years before donning hippie-stoner garb in Easy Rider, Dennis Hopper shows up in this Petticoat Junction episode as bearded beatnik poet Alan Landman. During his visit to the Shady Rest, Landman makes quite an impression upon starry-eyed Bobbie Jo Bradley (Pat Woodell). Everyone else, however, regards Landman as a posturing phony--after all, his poems don't even rhyme or nothin'!
