Mr. Drysdale (Raymond Bailey) wants Jed (Buddy Ebsen) to marry the new neighbor, Mrs Philip Brentwood Carrington III, due solely to Jed having 50 million dollars and the widow Mrs. Philip Brentwood Carrington having 24 million dollars.
The wealthy new neighbors are named Carrington. Coincidentally, that would also be the name of the ultra-rich family on "Dynasty," which premiered 16 years later.
