Jo Van Fleet guest stars in this most moving Bonanza story about Little Joe
Cartwright going blind after an explosion in a mine tunnel. Like Anne Sullivan
Macy, Van Fleet is a blind teacher of the blind.
Michael Landon may regain his sight in a matter of days or weeks or maybe never. Faced with that open end diagnosis Lorne Greene sends for a teacher to have Landon learn the skills he will need to cope.
Landon's scenes with Van Fleet are some of the best he did in that long run on Bonanza. He and Van Fleet should have had some Emmy consideration.
Really fine story, shades of The Miracle Worker.
