Guest star Tom Tryon is the focus of this Virginian episode as the regular cast takes a back seat. Tryon is a Shiloh cowhand who has taken a liking to Pamela Austin whose father Hugh Beaumont owns a business in Shiloh. They fall in love and get married though Beaumont has doubts about his new son-in-law.

Tryon just can't get used to settling down in the saddle shop he has started and the devil on his shoulder is Michael Greene who just got fired from another ranch.

In the end Tryon has choices to make and they involve his good friend Don Quine from Shiloh.

Tryon delivers a very tight performance, but you can see the emotions bubbling from not too far underneath.

This episode is Tom Tryon's show.

I give this episode 10 stars for Hugh Beaumont and the timeless life lessons when it comes to marriage!

This episode aired three years after 'Leave It To Beaver' ended, and Hugh Beaumont is in fine form as a father figure again, but this time as a father to a spoiled daughter.

Hugh Beaumont does a great job in his delivery when it comes to accepting the blame for his daughter's situation and also in steering her in the right direction; he knew how to play a great dad, but it helps to have good writing too and this episode does not lack in that department.

Marriage is more than making a wife happy, as the story illustrates, and it isn't always the wife's fault when parents let her have everything her way; marriage takes meeting halfway and understanding that both are human, and it's nice to see those ideas in a television show.

A good episode all around and worth watching!
