Hoss suffers a life-threatening injury. Only surgery by a doctor in jail for murder can save him.

Hoss harbors kindred spirit Big Jim Layton on the Ponderosa while trying to clear the wounded mountain man's name from charges of theft and murder.

Little Joe finds himself at the scene of a murder, and befriends the victim's vengeance-minded son.

Bushwacked and suffering from amnesia, Hoss is found wandering down the road by the Vandervorts, an older couple who are happy to take the gentle giant into their family to replace the son they lost.

Attacked by outlaws, Hoss takes cover in a prospector's shack with the old prospector and with Walter, the old man's surprisingly communicative dog.
