Synopsis

A visitor of Ben's—Mr. Milbank—arrived at the Ponderosa at an unfortunate moment, just as the Cartwright sons were embroiled in a spirited wrestling match in the mud. During the commotion, Mr. Milbank sustained a minor injury when a stray log flew his way. Before leaving, he entrusted each of the boys with a particular task. Now, the question is whether they can rise to meet these assignments, or if the burgeoning springtime has softened them all too much.
