This fun ep is about three young men who kidnap 3 saloon girls from the Longbranch to be their wives. The former live on a farm on I guess the outskirts of town. Thanks to the sequel ep to this one the episode actually has fine credibility because we actually see the farm again. The clothes the guest characters wear look authentic to the last quarter of the 19th century as well
Some comments about comments. Karen Grassle is not quite beautiful. The other two women (one being Michelle Marsh who turns in a brilliant performance as well) are a good deal more attractive and incredible. Nothing at all wrong with saloon girls being attractive as there are no really homely women.
The poster who said that Grassle as Fran was replaceable in the sequel ep was indeed right. She is kinda ridiculed and a joke in this ep being seen out cold(?) and the dirty soles of her feet prominent. Her character is for laughs and she does badly with the role in other ways like when she laughs at the saloon. (Probably got teased forever for that scene I just described!) She got in one Gunsmoke ep but as she did really bad (and since Little House co-star Victor French directed this ep and the continuing one) she apparently was correctly rejected for a second. A blow to her career. The fine actor who played Ike, the son-then-turned-lover of her, probably could not make it back to the show again for time schedule reasons (and thus he was replaced by David Soul in the sequel ep).
PS No problem(contrary to previous poster) with the three attractive women falling in love in this fast. Hannah tells Matt she never saw so much romance happen so quickly!
