Love this stuff! Jethro wants to impress his new girl --and possibly future wife, Debbie (played by Joan Huntington) and become an overnight movie star. So what to do? Head over to the studio and get a job as Dash Riprock's (Larry Pennell) stunt man.
Easier said than done. Dash, the egotisitical gent he is, gives Jethro (now known as Beef Jerky) all the stunts that guarantee bandages - LOTS. Best running gag (or wardrobe change) has Jethro dressed to impress in a yellow zebra-striped suit. Amazing.
In the meantime, as his luck would have it, all Debbie wants is to connect with Jed and get a screen test. Bye, bye Beef Jerky!
Terrific supporting cast, including Pat Harrington as Phil. Larry Pennell appeared 10 times on the series as Dash, also frequently cast on LASSIE. Pretty Joan Huntington (who passed in 2021) guest starred many times on BURKES LAW. Look for young Jack Bannon (LOU GRANT) as Bob. Jack was the son of Bea Benadaret (PETTICOAT JUNCTION).
10 Stars for ambitious, but bruised Jethro. SEASON 4 EPISODE 30 remastered color dvd box set. 4 dvds. Released 2014. Check out the classic cover with Jed and a pitch fork!
