The ever-efficient secretary to Mr. Drysdale, Jane Hathaway takes great pleasure in teaching the Clampetts the ways of big city life. More intelligent than her money-hungry boss, Miss Jane appreciates Jed's simple wisdom. But the prim and proper spinster is smitten with Jed's nephew, the rugged, but simple, Jethro Bodine. At times she can be so blinded by his brawn that she comes frightfully close to making a fool of herself. In the end, Miss Hathaway always manages to maintain her composure with the Clampetts while carrying out Drysdale's outrageous demands.
