Petticoat Junction S2E31: The Chicken Killer

Overview

Hinky Mittenfloss, the new dog catcher, is constantly trying to catch Dog. That night, Betty Jo is worried because Dog hasn't come home. Hinky tells Betty Jo that he believes that Dog killed three of Luther Craig's chickens. Dog comes home covered in chicken feathers. Hinky takes Dog to the County Dog Pound where he will eventually be put down. Kate, Betty Jo and Uncle Joe consult with lawyer Melvin Randal. Melvin thinks that Kate is more than capable of handling the case before a judge. Though hesitant at first, Judge Murdock allows the case to proceed. Hinky calls Luther Craig as his first witness. With the help of a cat, Arnold the pig and Dog, Kate almost wins the case. But Dog grabbing Joe's chicken sandwich seals his fate. That is until Betty Jo wakes up from her dream.
