Oliver and Lisa Douglas are back in the third season of Green Acres. In this episode, titled "The Man For the Job," the Douglases are feeling overworked and in need of some help around the farm. Enter Mr. Haney, their favorite shifty salesman, who offers to sell them a robot named Homer to take care of their chores.
Oliver is skeptical at first, but Lisa sees the potential for a life free from the drudgery of farm work. Homer arrives, and the Douglases soon discover that he is more trouble than he's worth. He is not only inefficient but also incredibly annoying, with his constant beeping and malfunctioning.
The Douglases try to make the most of the situation, but Homer's antics get the better of them. He starts destroying things and causing chaos around the farm. Meanwhile, Mr. Haney is nowhere to be found, leaving the Douglases to deal with the fallout.
As the situation spirals out of control, Oliver and Lisa realize that they can't rely on technology to solve their problems. They have to take matters into their own hands and work together to get things done. They band together with their neighbors to fix the damage that Homer has caused and regain control of their farm.
In the end, the Douglases learn a valuable lesson about the value of hard work and human connection. They come to appreciate the simple things in life and the satisfaction that comes from working with their own two hands.
