This episode starts with Barnaby West and Charlie Wooster musing about why man can't fly and then proceeding to tar and feather themselves with tar and feather and take to the sky. This was before the opening credits.

Afterward we find that Frank McGrath has had a vivid dream. Coincidentally so had Michael Burns. But another dreamer on the Wagon Train is Tom Ewell, a man with Jeanne Cooper has out done Eddie and Ida Cantor, 7 daughters, but his latest production is a boy. I guess there's something he's good at.

Ewell who is a bootmaker by trade wastes a lot of frivolous time trying to invent things and McGrath and Burns find a kindred spirit. Their joint efforts to find the secret of flight meet with hilarious results.

There's also a little romance for Burns with Ewell's eldest daughter Kim Darby. Accent on the comedy in this Wagon Train story.

Not exactly the greatest episode. Season eight really started the decline of the series. I wonder how John McIntire felt that Robert Fuller started being listed as the star of the show. I like both guys but honestly the series was at it's best with Ward Bond and Robert Horton as the two stars.
