The Ponderosa is thrown into a tizzy when Kentucky woman Annie Slocum (Majel Barrett) shows up, claiming that Hoss Cartwright asked her to be his bride. In short order, two other women named Yvette (Danielle Aubry and Libby (Mitzi Hoag) also arrive, making the same claim! It is all the handiwork of a crafty widower named Jester (Stu Erwin), who hopes to secure a bride for himself and a stepmom for his daughter Jenny (Sharyl Locke) by signing Hoss' name to innumerable mail-order applications. This comic episode was written by Jo Pagano. "Three Brides for Hoss" was originally seen on February 20, 1966.
