synopsis
Hoss Cartwright once again falls victim to a clever palm reader, in this case a travelling prognosticator named Madama Morova, played by no less than Zsa Zsa Gabor. Giving Hoss a Stradivarius, Morova informs him that he is an undiscovered violin virtuoso, destined to give his first public concert within a week. The resultant "rehearsal" scenes have to be seen (and heard!) to be believed. Featured in the cast are three expatriates from the Jerry Lewis films: Kathleen Freeman as Miss Hibbs, Del Moore as Hank, and Doodles Weaver as Barney. First telecast on May 7, 1967, "Maestro Hoss" was written by U.S. Anderson.
