Summary[]
Susan's father is killed in a terrible accident she feels responsible for. Her inability to walk is something that Hoss hopes he can help with if the new faith healer in town proves he is more than just a charlatan.
Plot[]
Susan Blanchard emerges from a wagon crash with only a minor injury, yet is unable to get out of her bed.
A faith healer guarantees that he can get Susan to walk again--if she promises to marry him. Even though her affliction is all in her mind, Hoss hesitates to expose the faker for fear that Susan might never get up.
