This Bonanza story opens with Hoss Cartwright in Ford Rainey's courtroom testifying against Susan Tyrell's husband whom he stopped from pistol whipping
someone. She's drunk and dissheveled, what we would call today one hot mess.
But when her husband is sentenced to 5 years she hands over her son to Dan Blocker saying she can't support him. In the Cartwright tradition they take in another stray in their tradition. Little Johnny Lee goes to live with the Cartwrights.
Blocker has with Tyrell a real reclamation project. But with the help of Doctor Arthur O'Connell the two manage to straighten Tyrell out.
Surprised Mitch Vogel was not in this story. Seemed like a natural to bring him in to the plot.
