Having attended a screening of a Marlon Brando movie, Elly May has taken up motorcycling as a hobby. To get Elly off her cycle and force her to behave like a "lady," Jed decides it is time to find himself a new wife who can properly mother his irrepressible daughter. Among the candidates is Mrs. Fenwick (Doris Packer), last seen in the episode titled "The Clampett Look." "Elly Needs a Maw" was originally telecast on December 11, 1963.
