Petticoat Junction - S04E28 – That Was the Night That Was

Episode Plot: Late one evening, Uncle Joe and Sam, following a lodge meeting, run across a mysterious fellow looking for lodging. He calls himself Dr Isaac Newton and claims that he's a geophysicist. Although Kate welcomes him with open arms, she and the rest of the family think that his all-knowing behaviour, and the mysterious occurrences that have happened that night - which includes a lot of flickering lights - are not human. They believe he may be an alien from outer space. Despite the secretive nature of the club, the men offer to hold their upcoming lodge meeting, where Uncle Joe is going through an important initiation process, at the hotel if only to ensure that Kate and the girls feel safe from Dr Newton. Goings-on during and after the initiation ceremony ultimately settle Kate's mind about Dr Newton.

Series Plot: The misadventures of the family staff of The Shady Rest Hotel and their neighbours of Hooterville.
