A tribe of Indians, led by the financially savvy Chief Running Wolf (Stanley Waxman), has laid claim to a huge chunk of the Clampetts' oil-rich property. As banker Drysdale tires to negotiate with the tribe, impressionable Granny prepares for an all-out Indian war -- just like the ones she's seen in the movies. This is the episode in which John Wayne made his well-publicized "surprise" appearance (complete with a burst of pre-recorded studio applause). "The Indians are Coming" originally aired on February 1, 1967. by Hal Erickson, Rovi
