"On business for Ben, Hoss takes the stagecoach to Denver. He joins two nuns in the same coach. Bandits attack the stage, which overturns, killing the driver and leaving the passengers at the mercy of the bandits. They rob Hoss and the nuns, who must trek their way on foot to the next way station. There they are surprised to find one of the robbers, badly wounded. Hoss finds that both of the nuns show a special kind of strength with the robber in their power." Written by Charles Delacroix on IMDb.com
Reviews:
"Great episode. Best I've seen. Judith Carne gives an amazing performance as novice nun. Dan Blocker was quite an actor. He had little trouble carrying an episode without other Cartwrights.Hoss would have made a good Catholic. Episode looks at challenges of obedience and putting others ahead of yourself. Wonderful look at Christian life." Written by nlathy-839-300677 on IMDb.com

Very Touching Episode Of Bonanza

[@Seekthetruth3000]

Hoss was so lovable.

[@SuperChicken666]

Judy Carne Always looked good in a Nun's habit. Always one of my favorites. She's best remembered for her Laugh In days. I'm going back to sleep now until the nurse brings my medication.😊❤❤

[@johncaputo9965]

I fell in love with Judy Carne when this episode first aired. I am still in love with her! That was Oct 27, 1963, one month before my 12th birthday. BTW, I couldn't stand her always disapproving companion nun!

[@toinimoore3463]

Yes she’s right food, family,big place to breathe it’s like heaven for many.

[@drpharm561]

My father loved to watch this show ,he felt it was some good in the people who was actors in this show, today lm 68 yrs old and it was a great show, lessons of many kinds are learned thru the years.

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

She did not die ! My goodness the Irish accent and her sweetness - Bonanza was really special 🤗

[@joeowens6180]

Truly, speaking both as a Catholic and as a true Bonanza fan, this was one of the most moving of all episodes. Also it presented Dan Blocker's wisest and most discerning self; he made Hoss truly loving, protective of good, and a little wiser, perhaps, about the inscrutable ways of the Lord.

[@yasminenazrin3674]

What's releguios got to do with cowboy show 🤨 These are different faith releguions & god

back in the olden days, at least for a while, sunday night was the wonderful World of Disney , Bonanza and then Have Gun will Travel.I was suppose to be in bed after Bonanza but would sneak around and watch Have gun will Travel from afar while my dad watched it.

[@belbal5004]

Love that one! Wish Palladin was here too, as this site is preferable mist ofthe time to Netflix, Prime, and others. At least you don't lose 20 minutes hunting for something.

@@jameswhite1320 Blocker never played in the NFL. You may mean Merlin Olsen, who was in Little House and Father Murphy.

[@beckyshell4649]

He was well-liked by the cast and crew. He , Landon, Lorine Green were friends and business partners. He was the cast member with the most education and was a teacher before the acting career and was working on his Master's degree while on Bonanza. Lorine Green said he knew Bonanza was over when they lost Dan.

[@rbrowning9617]

Growing up I heard he was very nice, if a bit shy, and loved pulling pranks on set with Landon

[@soulaesthete8563]

I so appreciate your uploads of this incredible series. Like many Americans, I grew up with Bonanza and these great episodes are clear evidence as to why this TV show was on the air for 14 seasons.

[@silkychan6099]

Absolutely! The plots, acting are really top notch most of the time. As u said it's clear why it lasted as long as it did. It's just good tv

[@multirichardb]

This was intense, choices on top of decisions mixed with dreams, and the irony of the nemesis interfering with our choices, decisions and dreams, all these actors are inside each of us. Really good acting, scripting and the musical scores that seduce us into the story line of our imagination. We don't get this form of art in this 21 century, unfortunately. Thank goodness for this channel and the Bonanza crew.

Still love that theme tune. Loved and love the series too. Like the chap below I grew up with Bonanza too - away over on the other side of the world in New Zealand.

[@robertphillips3078]

Not sure about others veiwing Bonanza, but this Aussie guy prefers the show when Pernell Roberts was one of the 3 brothers in the show. Because of his New Englandneess he added a bit of panashe 2 each episode. Speaking of New England, its also an area north west of Sydney Australia (Armidale ) where my mother comes from. Guess l have some panashe genes in me as well 😀😁😃😅 thx 4 all agreeing....

Yup. And where was her faith in G-d to accept what happened when she found out she'd been robbed. Then strongly criticizing her young nun apprentice for trying to save the robbers from searching her for the money. Which they would have gotten in a disrespectful manner. Always a good lesson from these episodes. We need to look ourselves for how to be better before tearing someone else down.

[@SunRabbit]

In CZ we have a saying: "in return for goodness, there is poverty," and this episode illustrates that well. They helped a man who rob them and killed a man, only to rob them again, and kill a woman. On the other hand, had they not helped him, they might have never recovered the money. Maybe we should start saying "in return for goodness, there is poverty; but in return for evil, there is DEATH."

[@MollyGrue1]

Will never understand how pecking on s.o., humiliating and abusing a person should make her/him a better personn or were something God wanted us to do. My Mum spent time in a nuns' school as a child and had a dose of that kind of thinking. They left her with pulmonia to "teach her not to ly" - unfortunately she was one of the sort that do not develop high temperature so no one beliefed. Ages after on an x-ray a doc found the scars on her lungs.She could have died as a child due to that cruel idea of forming a person to "God's will".

[@DedicatedSpartan]

Well if one is forcing they are not of God. It's a choice.

[@cgallagher5023]

Okay. Well, I guess I was kinda wrong about that. I kept saying that the Mother Superior was too mean, or cruel. But I guess she was right at least, that the bad guy (robber) really was lying etc
