Having accidentally glimpsed striptease artist Chickadee Laverne (Barbara Nichols) in her skimpy dancing outfit, Jethro is convinced that he has seen the girl in her underwear -- and as such, is obliged to marry her. Alas, Chickadee has dropped out of sight, and a heartbroken Jethro won't be happy unless he finds her again. Sharon Tate makes her first series appearance in the recurring role of bank secretary Janet Trego (Tate had been originally hired by Paul Henning to co-star on Petticoat Junction, but was dropped from that series at the last minute). The conclusion of a two-part story arc, "Chickadee Returns" first aired on November 6, 1963.
