Summary[]
Hoss finds himself smack dab in the middle of a mountain family feud when he agrees to be the best man at ornery Big Jim Leyton's wedding.
Plot[]
The grimy lout from the mountains, Jim Leyton, returns to the Ponderosa to announce his engagement.
Unbelievably, his fiance is the lovely Julie Martingale. Their relationship is even more surprising because Jim's been feuding with her equally uncouth father, Grizzly, for years. Tossed into the middle of this is Hoss, who Jim has asked to be his best man.
