Riding on a medicine show wagon, former Cartwright running buddy Lou Frizzell comes into Virginia City in his new profession as a rainmaker. Virginia City and the surrounding area including the Ponderosa is suffering from drought. But rainmakers are notorious charlatans and Frizzell and his young helper Mitch Vogel are in for trouble.
This show introduced Vogel as Jamie Hunter later Cartwright who Lorne Greene adopts in an effort to bring in some younger viewers to the by then aging show. Sad to say it was not better plotted.
Frizzell was on a few times and I can't believe the good people of Virginia City failed to recognize him. It didn't make any rational sense.
Still Vogel was an appealing character and he'd soon become a Cartwright.
