Patriarch Jed Clampett (Varney), his mother-in-law Granny (Cloris Leachman), his daughter Elly May (Eleniak) and his nephew Jethro Bodine (Bader) are living in their rustic home in the hills of Arkansas when they receive an offer of $25 million for their land from a big oil company. Suddenly, the Clampetts are thrust into a world of luxury and excess, as they move to Beverly Hills to start their new life, bringing their hillbilly sensibilities with them. Once in Beverly Hills, it becomes clear that the Clampetts are outsiders in this new world of wealth and privilege. They are befriended by a street-smart con artist named Woodrow Tyler (Max Baer Jr.), who sets his sights on tricking the family out of their newfound wealth. Meanwhile, banker Milburn Drysdale (Dabney Coleman) is tasked with managing the Clampetts' finances and keeping them safe from the many predators who are circling around them in Beverly Hills. As the Clampetts navigate their new surroundings, they clash with the locals and find themselves in one hilarious misadventure after another.

Through it all, the family shows that their simple, earnest ways can win over even the most jaded of Beverly Hills residents. The film features hilarious performances from the entire cast, with Jim Varney bringing his trademark goofy charm to the role of Jed Clampett.
