Stroyline:
"In this comic episode, mail-order huckster Gideon Flinch (Ian Wolfe), alias Homer T. Cranston, fleeces ornery Bullethead Burke (Harry Swoger) of 5,000 dollars. When Bullethead shows up in Virginia City seeking revenge, Gideon's quick-thinking niece Jennifer (Sue Anne Langdon) convinces the surly bruiser that Little Joe Cartwright is really the elusive Flinch. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"This episode of Bonanza leaned very heavily toward comedy with Ian Wolfe and daughter Sue Ane Langdon coming to town. Ian breaks it to Sue Ane gently that he's kind of on the run because a very short tempered Harry Swoger wants to know where the $5000.00 that he invested with Wolfe has disappeared to. Not to worry because Sue Ane has interested two Cartwright brothers with raging hormones in her. She's sure that she can get them to help if Dan Blocker and Michael Landon will stop conning each other trying to impress Langdon.
At the same time Arnold Stang comes to town and back east he's a well known pickpocket and he cleans out a lot of valuables and identities of a few of principal players here. Pretty soon Swoger has many Gideon Flinches to choose from between Cartwright hormones, Langdon's charms, and Stang's work, Gideon Flinch being the character name of Wolfe.
You might notice that former Dead End kid Bobby Jordan plays one of the henchmen that Swoger has. Even young Ricky Kelman pulls a con or two aiding and abetting Little Joe against Hoss.
Functioning as a kind of befuddled Greek chorus is Burtin Mustin and Clem Bevans.
A really top flight cast makes this Bonanza episode most enjoyable." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"This is another great comic relief episodes! I especially like Joe Cartwright's facial expressions! My favorite scene is when Joe accuses Jennifer of taking his wallet.
Its in episodes like this when we see brother against brother. Adam and Ben's uncaring episode of the boys' escapades just makes the episode that much more funny. Add to that the sheriff, deputy, and other townspeople who are usually caught in intense tear-jerking that makes the viewer breathe a deep sigh of relief.
This was another great one for the writer's! This light-hearted episodes mixed in with the heavy episode are what keep Bonanza great after all these years." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com

This episode is in my top 3 of all-time favorite Bonanza shows. Very well written, with great actors playing each part and it's still funny after watching it when it aired all those years ago (we only had a black and white TV back in those days (I believe Bonanza was one of the first color TV shows).

Joe's gorgeous and darling, but he was a real arsehole in this one. He assumed she'd stolen his wallet with absolutely no proof and manhandled her across the street. She should have swatted him! I'm a great Joe fan and only watch this for him, but just saying.

Hoss got the girl this time...but the Cartwright curse still got him in 73 when he lost his life saving his wife from drowning. I was just turning 5 when we lost (Dan "Hoss Cartwright" Blocker). Dekalb,Texas is lucky to have had the ten pound Dan It's also his final resting place.I feel like Hoss is Family to me. I live in Arizona near mesa where Lorne Green, "Ben Cartwright" lived in a replica ponderosa home just inside Mesa, Arizona. Dan,Lorne,Pernell And Michael memory will always live on in Bonanza.

that was a common theme through out the series. Every time one of the cartwrights got involved with a girl the relationship didn't work out. They broke, up wife died something along those lines. I think the show producers just did not want married characters.

Love Bonanza and the Cartwrights, the supporting cast were great to but watching all the episodes up to now, it gets me annoyed sometimes that all the women that try to deceive the Cartwrights or are involved in plots to ruin or kill them never face any consequences. In this episode Jennifer was willing to let an innocent man get beaten up or killed by lying and tricking him and still both Hoss and little Joe taught it was ok for her to do it.

[@linsqopiring6816]

23:45 They just have the dirtiest floors in the world. He just touched his hand to the floor for a few seconds and it's enough to make his face covered with dirt. And as if even Hoss would believe when there are no kids on the Ponderosa that one ran out from there to Virginia city to deliver a message that it's burning.

When I saw the name Arnold Stang, the first thing that popped into my head was Top Cat. Why? Because I had only recently subscribed to Boomerang through Amazon Prime Video in order to watch episodes of a cartoon show called Top Cat where Stang supplied the voice of the title character and did a fabulous (to me) job. When the series was brought back, a different actor supplied TC's voice and did a lousy (to me) job. It will be fun seeing Stang as a person.

Well... They tried. One weak episode. Little Joe was written way out of character. In the show he and the Cartwright family are powerful males, with mettle in a crisis. Here, Joe is a silly, weak man--whoa out of character. The episode is saved by Sue Ane Langdon and Arnold Stang. And they are credited at the intro. Stang was an amazing actor--even in lame productions he was stellar. I always loved the work of Joe Turkel. Here he has a very minor role (unrelated: Turkel is a Leftist like me. There were several Leftists in the Bonanza production).
