Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the second episode of a three-part story arc, the Clampetts arrive in Washington, DC, where they plan to donate their entire fortune to the cause of ending air pollution in America. Though they intend to pay a visit to President Nixon, they are sidetracked by their old acquaintance Honest John -- actually, con artist Shifty Shafer (Phil Silvers). Claiming to be deeply touched by the Clampetts' ecological sentiments, Shafer schemes to deeply touch the Clampetts to the tune of several million bucks. Kathleen Freeman appears as Shifty Shafer's equally crooked wife Flo. Largely filmed on location, "The Clampetts in Washington" originally aired on September 22, 1970.
