Comedy is accented in this Bonanza episode as Burt Mustin all of 92 drops dead on the Ponderosa doorstep and Ben Cartwright becomes the executor of the estate. The frugal Mr. Mustin never made out a will, but he's worth several hundred thousand dollars and with his dying breath says it all goes to his next of kin one Meredith Smith.
By the time the six month deadline comes around Lorne Greene has more Meredith Smiths than he knows what to do with. Are any of them legitimate? This is of vital importance as Mustin held certain water rights on his property adjacent to the Ponderosa.
This story looks like an enlarged episode of To Tell The Truth. But that's half the fun. The other half is seeing Lorne Greene get rid of the unwanted Smiths.
