Storyline:
"Hoss gets into a fight with a young drifter. When the sheriff breaks up the fight, the stranger introduces himself as Muley Jones, a distant cousin, and bear-hugs Hoss in friendship. The handsome, childish Muley loves to sing and does it at every opportunity. Unfortunately, his singing voice is so booming that it shatters glass with impunity and rattles ANYTHING more solid. Meanwhile, the sheriff is looking for a couple of moonshiners (Jesse White, Strother Martin) who are selling their own liquor to various drinking establishments. Though Muley is just about as dumb as he looks, he provides help to the sheriff in a fashion ... well, just listen to it." Written by Peter Harris on IMDb.com
Reviews:
"Bruce Yarnell playing Cartwright cousin Muley Jones comes to Virginia City to visit his relations. The man has one powerful baritone singing voice and he's not making friends busting all the glass in town when he clears those high notes.
But Yarnell proves quite useful in discovering the identity of some folks making illegal whiskey. His discovery scene at the climax of the episode is quite amusing.
Besides Yarnell who is best known for starring opposite Ethel Merman in a 1968 Lincoln Center revival of Annie Get Your Gun the cast includes Jerome Cowan as an Indian agent, Strother Martin and Jesse White as the still operators and Ralph Moody as an Indian chief.
One of Bonanza's best comic episodes." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"This would have been just another run of the mill episode if it wasn't for the amazing performance of the supporting actors. Jesse White and Strother Martin who given stellar performances in many outstanding films add a quality to this episode not usually seen in Bonanza. There are is one underlying story here involving Ben Cartwright trying to stop an Indian agent forcing the local tribe to a reservation. But that story takes a back seat to the story of the moon shiners (Jesse White and Strother Martin) their interaction is first class and hilarious. Add to that; the incredible singing voice of Bruce Yarnell whose beautiful rendition's of Beautiful Dreamer and Listen to the Mockingbird are amazing. He makes these old songs pop."

The ending with the horses and dogs going crazy was hilarious!

[@winonamassingill7895]

This game of horseshoes reminds me of when I was a young girl. My aunt Bea Thompson in Whitesborrow Texas always held a family reunion every year and my mother and I would go. She lived in a beautiful two story Victorian house white with pink trim. The men would gather in the front yard and play horseshoes. I can still hear the sound of the ring when the horseshoe hit the steel post and the laughter and joking of the men. I’m now a 78 year old woman 👵🏻 and I may have lost many things but I’ve still got those sweet memories. I love ❤️ the song 🎶 sung by Elvis Presley of Sweet Memories.

[@gregsmith983]

Use to have a horseshoe game at Grandmas every Sunday and homemade ice cream but families don’t get together like that anymore.

[@MrBoogedy1]

I have to admit that this has got to be my favorite episode of the whole series. Muley Jones may have a good singing voice, but he's got a BIG mouth. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

Wait a minute, first came a nephew, now a second cousin??!! I don't know about the rest of you all, but I'm heading for the ride, I'm going straight to the Ponderosa saying that I am a third cousin or something! Oh, how I wish this could be real, not only in my mind and heart . I always wanted to meet them all, since my childhood and was all the time enchanted by the house and.. by Hoss . I love you cousin Hoss! Thank you for this episode, It was really funny when all bottles started to blast. That's exactly what I think could happen when I'm singing in the shower, but no bottles over there so maybe cracking the ceiling...

Exactly! As a young child, I always dreamt of being a guest at the Ponderosa. The Cartwrights were so family-oriented and welcomed everyone to their home.

[@joeowens6180]

I have discovered that Bruce Yarnell was actually a trained operatic tenor and did many Broadway shows, including a part in Camelot (Sir Dinadan). There is no doubt that the voice over was his very own. He died tragically at age 37 in a private airplane crash. Tremendous loss for all.

[@billybadtoes]

[@multirichardb]

This was hilarious so much so, it was the size of this gent, he's 6' 6" 250 lbs no wonder he's got a voice, all that 2nd cousin leverage. And when he shook hands with all that youthful exuberance, thought he'd start an earthquake. Great voice, needs some fine-tuning. And all that glass exploding and mirrors, windows, too much humor in one episode. Great idea, scripting, and acting thank you again, Cartwright's and the Ponderosa. No gunfights, no fistfights, no death, only broken glass, and a happy ending.

[@MrSreeramIII]

Yes.. Terrific!! The Dead Pan Indians are a perfect foil!!!

[@karlgillies]

Can't understand why Bruce Yarnell, wasn't a huge star, his voice is amazing, he should have been given an a ward, for his acting, in this episode, he was brilliant .

[@yellowblanka6058]

Probably because it looks like he was a theatrical/operatic singer around the time when pop/rock bands/singer like the Beatles and Elvis Presley were popular.

[@winonamassingill7895]

And I loved the play and movie Oklahoma. I loved Ado Annie singing I Can’t Say No. When our class acted out that play Ado Annie was performed by one of our classmates, Jeanette O’Donnell. Every year the Jaycee’s held a contest for the beauty Queen 👸 of our town. Jeanette wasn’t perhaps the most beautiful person facially and she certainly was as beautiful in a bathing suit 🩱 she was a skinny little thing. However, she had a sweet personality and she was nice to everybody, and I’m glad the judges overlooked the other girls who might have been more physically beautiful but Jeanette’s beautiful voice knocked them out of the running 🏃‍♀️. 😊😊😊
