Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Red Buttons guest stars as charismatic traveling circus man Mr. O'Hara. While performing magic tricks for the Walnut Grove citizenry, O'Hara leads his audience to believe that his "special" powders have marvelous healing powers. Falling for the circus man's blarney hook, line, and sinker, Mrs. Oleson (Katherine MacGregor) ends up endangering her health -- not to mention her life.
