Storyline
Arnie is a lonely man with big muscles, a little brain and an ugly face. He is friendly by nature, but when somebody jeers at him and calls him an ape, he becomes mad. Then he is very dangerous. Most people avoid Arnie, but Hoss recognizes something of his own nature in Arnie and wants to help him. Written by Maths Jesperson {maths.jesperson@bredband.net}

There are about 5 or 6 episodes of bonanza that i've seen that I favor the most, And this one is near the top, right beside the mission and the bloodline. When i first saw this episode about 3 years ago, the first title that came to mind was "Of Mice and men" A novel I had read in high school in 11th grade. If you haven't read the novel, go do it, it's great.
If you have read the novel, here's how to match the bonanza characters with the novel; Hoss is George, Arnie is Lennie, Cheri bell is Curley's wife, The squatter Little Joe mentions about half an hour in is the girl that Lennie grabbed the dress of, and thats about it.
In this episode, Hoss befriends Arnie, a Big man with a short temper and an IQ in the 60s or 50s. Hoss can understand Arnie's problems, because he is big himself.
One thing really quick - This was one of the first television appearances of Leonard Nimoy, the man who was known to viewers as Spock on the original Star Trek movies.
