The game, a point-and-click adventure, tells the story of the Clampetts, a poor family in the Ozarks who discover oil on their property and become millionaires, moving to Beverly Hills with their newfound wealth.

Poorly received at its release, The Beverly Hillbillies has since been mentioned as one of the worst video games ever made[1] because of its frustrating puzzles and numerous bugs.

The family drives their jalopy across the Los Angeles freeway, eventually arriving at their new home in Beverly Hills.

In Los Angeles, the Clampetts meet a bank employee named Tyler and plan a hoedown to celebrate their arrival.

To free Granny, the Clampetts concoct a "tonic" using a variety of strange ingredients, including a bear claw, corn mash, and weasel hair.
