Setting up Greenacres as a museum and running the tour with the Wick brothers, Sharon Webster, Ray Hart and other friends. Harold helps Kevin Brownlow meet the parade of silent movie stars, and the Christmas tree gains its legendary status. Rich and Dave hide clues in the attic and get "trapped" in the chimney. Richard runs the movie projectors, and Jennifer and Sue throw a prom party.  Young David Puttnam chauffeurs Sue, and Rich gets to meet Ray Harryhausen and freaks out. Harold discovers a love for the Beatles and spinning records for friends. Paul McCartney throws a party at Greenacres, and Arnold Schwarzenegger lays seige to the gardens. Plus: Edward G. Robinson, Donovan, and the Blues Brothers.
