synopsis
The rest of the Ponderosa men are astonished when Hoss Cartwright shows up reeking of cologne and dressed to the nines. It is all part of Hoss' scheme to prove that mercenary saloon gal Dolly Bantree (Lola Albright) only loves grungy miner Buford Buckelew (Jack Elam) for his money. Paul Brineger, fresh from his lengthy stint on Rawhide, appears as Rev. Written by Robert V. Barron, "A Bride for Buford" first aired January 15, 1967.
