Storyline:
"The Infernal Machine" is a horseless carriage, invented by Hoss Cartwright's friend Daniel Pettibone (Eddie Ryder). 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. Written on rottentomatoes.com
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

A rifle for shooting around the corner! Love it.🤣🤣 The previous two parts made me weep. It's good to have a lighthearted story now and then.

I so love the comedic episodes! Where was Adam the engineer, when needed? The gun that shoots around corners....too funny! And the eyes peeping up over the bar. Godda laugh throughout this episode.

[@BelaCurcio]

That's what I thought, he's the engineer after all! Seems like there wasn't much Adam this season for some reason

[@barbaraanneneale3674]

This is the best Bonanza Channel ever!

[@ROMANABSOLUT]

Daniel Pettibone really existed, but he died 41 years BEFORE the Bonanza movie actions take place in 1861. Daniel Pettibone (1770-1820), smith and inventor, was baptized in Bloomfield, Connecticut. He received patents for a variety of inventions, including improvements in welding cast steel to iron, boring gun barrels, warming rooms, and manufacturing tools, and he published several pamphlets about his inventions. Pettibone lived in Connecticut, Washington, D.C., and Boston before settling in about 1810 in Philadelphia, where he died.

[@stanmyler9037]

So how'd ya'll get along? Just fine?

[@rosered103]

@Romanabsolut Thanks! for the information. Who knew? You did.

[@multirichardb]

This sounds like Nidloa Tesla, only he didn't die in this fashion. All the same to bring this phenomenon to the Bonanza, and the Ponderosa and the city folks a newfound novelty of the future is very amazing. And I love that big old Hoss drove it first.

[@adamcollazo8228]

Great episode. The first practical internal combustion engine automobile was built in 1885 for those who are curious. I believe this episode is set in 1861?

[@GathKingLeppbertI]

Earlier this season the date was explicitly shown as 1863

[@ArmenianBishop]

There was a talented inventor, by the name of Daniel Pettibone, but his life preceded the time period of the Bonanza TV Show. Daniel Pettibone (1770-1820) invented the air stove, which was designed to circulate the heat throughout a house or building.

[@scotthamp384]

I love Hoss' reaction after he first fired up the power wagon

[@CHixon]

Bonanza should have cast Robert Preston of The Music Man as the promoter. Samuel Morey made his own coal oil-power carriage in Philadelphia PA just before the Civil War, so this fictional story is reasonable. Morey's prototype was full-size. However, this fictional carriage should have appeared more like the carriages of the time and without a steering wheel. After all, innovations were incremental. Music was in a minor key of Gus Edward's "In My Merry Oldsmobile", which was composed well after this setting.
