An old, tried-and-true sitcom story line is trotted out for this episode of The Beverly Hillbillies. Jed Clampett receives a gift from his new friend, oil-rich sheik Ali Ben Ahmed (Dan Seymour). You guessed it: The "gift" turns out to be four curvaceous dancing girls. In a further complication, Sheik Ali expresses the desire to add Elly May to his harem. Announcer Bill Baldwin, who introduced each episode of the series, appears on camera as himself. "The Sheik" initially aired on September 29, 1965.
