Duke Steals a Wife

Both Jed and his hillbilly dog Duke are in love. Granny told Jed that he needs female company.

In walks in pretty French Mademoiselle Denise looking for the Drysdale household. She has brought with her a French poodle which is due to marry Claude, Mrs Drysdale's dog. Much to Mr Drysdale's bemusement.

Only Duke gets to the poodle first and turns her head. A case of the lady and the tramp.

Poor Claude, jilted at the altar and he was spruced up for the occasion.

Jed to grooms himself for the lovely Mademoiselle Denise. He could escargot all the way.

It is nice to see Jed feeling romantic. Obviously the less of the Clampett clan are rooting for him. Less said about Claude and Mrs Drysdale the better.

Trivia
The French song "Auprès de ma blonde" is often heard when Mlle. Denise appears.

Goofs
Upon seeing the puppies, Mlle. Denise looks at Duke and says "Monsieur Duke, je pense que vous etes le papa!" Vous etes meaning "you are" is the formal (& plural) form of the 2nd person. When speaking to an acquaintance, family member, child, or ANIMAL, the less formal or familiar form "tu es" is employed.

Quotes
Elly May Clampett: [Elly May shows Jed Duke's new poodle friend] I named her cotton patch, 'cause her hair grows in clumps.
Jed Clampett: I reckon it was clipped that way, Elly May, but the fella that done it musta had the clippers in one hand and a jug in the other. He missed the biggest part of her.
Elly May Clampett: Old Duke sure has took a fancy to her. He dug up four of his best bones and give them to her.
Jed Clampett: She done a lot for Duke too. Before she come along, Duke was feelin' lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, but lookit him now.
