| THE STORY |
|
Lisa awakens from a horrible dream in which Oliver has bought
a farm...Doh! Things improve slightly when after Lisa tries
to get three eggs from a "man chicken," Kate Bradley brings
over everything Lisa needs to make breakfast. Surprise!
We find out that Mrs. Douglas cannot cook.
Kate teaches her how to cook something "easy"...Hot Cakes. After struggling to bite off a piece of one of Lisa's hot cakes, Oliver uses it to steady a table which Mr. Haney has leased him until their furniture arrives from New York. Oliver tries to start planting his farm for profitability, but Lisa threatens to leave unless he first fixes up the house. Oliver asks Sam Drucker if there are any good decorators in town, Sam recommends Roland Wilson from Pixley. Back at the farm, Oliver's mother arrives to take Lisa back home and Mr. Wilson turns out to be a cake decorator. Oliver's mom leaves, Roland creates a cake of what Green Acres will look like when fully repaired, and the show ends with a darkened romantic interlude in which Oliver accidently crushes the cake. |

| It’s not uncommon for a wife like Lisa to want to redecorate their new farmhouse, boat, RV, or any other toy a farmer might buy after becoming profitable. The interior furniture of a Marlow Yacht for example, is built with fine wood for a classy appeal. This would have been a perfect match for Lisa, played by Eva Gabor. |
