Attempting to obtain financing for Dan's creation, Hoss is turned down by everyone except a city slicker named Throckmorton (Willard Waterman). Once this glib stranger agrees to invest money in the carriage, everyone else in town follows suit. Alas, Throckmorton skips town with the cash, leaving Dan and Hoss holding the bag.

Reviews:
"This episode begins when Hoss brings home Daniel Pettibone and his wife Robin. Mr Pettibone is an inventor with a shy personality that has a model of a horseless carriage. If he can get some financial backing he would be able to build one of the first automobiles in the country. And it just so happens that Hoss is out to help the shy inventor.
Hoss, not keen on words, cannot seem to get the people of Virginia City to invest in the idea of a horseless carriage. But when a slick talking drummer named Cyrus Throckmorton takes over getting investments nearly everyone in the town wants a piece of the action. But when everything looks like it is coming together, Throckmorton rides out of town with the people's money. Pettibone, the innocent meek inventor, is put in jail for his own protection.
Was not sure in which direction this episode wanted to proceed. At one time it was serious and the next moment it appeared to be a slap-stick comedy. By the end it turned into a depressing tale that just was not that entertaining. There are a few good moments but by the conclusion of the show it felt like a complete waste of time. Not worth the effort." Written by kfo9494
