One of Bonanza's best episodes involves guest star Michael Rennie playing a fugitive Harley Street physician and surgeon who now is a patent medicine quack running an itinerant show in the American west.
This story actually starts in Great Britain where Rennie flees after an operation where his female patient dies. The husband charged foul play and Ashley Cowan has tracked him to Virginia City.
Poor Dan Blocker's having trouble breaking in those new boots, so much so he's in danger of developing an infection. Michael Rennie sees the problem and provides a medical solution and then Hoss learns of his background and his story.
Later on Rennie's skills as a surgeon come in handy. More I cannot say.
Rennie gives his usual cultivated performance and Ashley Cowan does nicely as the spitfire cockney looking for revenge. The two of them and Dan Blocker make this episode one of Bonanza's best.
