Sebastian Cabot guest stars as billionaire Lucas Sebastian, who hopes to organize Drysdale and other prominent financiers -- like Jed Clampett -- into a syndicate. But things take an unexpected turn when the Clampetts mistake Sebastian, who has been ordered to go on a diet, for a starving farmer. Needless to say, this episode was filmed long before Cabot signed up for his lengthy hitch on Family Affair. "The Poor Farmer" was originally telecast on November 17, 1965.
