Oliver Takes Over The Phone Company
The Green Acres phone company saga continues! After complaining to Mr. Trendell (Robert Foulk), the president of the Hooterville Phone Company, of years of bad service, Mr. Trendell hands the company over to Oliver (Eddie Albert). Of course, Oliver hasn't imagined what a mess he's gotten himself into, but it doesn't take him long to find out. Apparently, being president of the phone company is a 24/7 job, subject to handling the complaints and needs of every citizen in Hooterville, including Mr. Trendell! When it's discovered that the switchboard operator, Mr. Trendell's mother, has quit in protest over the new management, Oliver and Lisa (Eva Gabor) move into the phone company offices to sort things out. But after a day of dropped calls, crossed wires, haphazard company records, and a switchboard repairman with some lose connections of his own, Oliver is ready to call it quits.
