Recap
Beavis and Butt-head are watching the
Beverly Hillbillies on TV. The boys decide they need to strike oil too, so they can have money and chicks. They take a couple of shovels out into the yard and try digging for oil. At first they don't make any progress, because as each of them digs, he piles the dirt in the other's hole. Finally, Beavis feels his shovel hit something, and he forces it harder into the ground, and hits a sewage line. Sewage comes spewing out of the hole, covering the boys in dark brown goo, but they think they've hit oil. They're excited, thinking they've struck it rich. ..
