Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When lovable eccentric Aunt Kezia (Hermione Baddeley) fails to pay her taxes, the old woman's property is bought up by the insufferable Mrs. Oleson (Katherine MacGregor). In a gesture of uncharacteristic generosity, Mrs. Oleson offers to let Kezia remain on the premises -- albeit as the Olesons' menial servant. To save Kezia from this grisly fate, Laura (Melissa Gilbert) and Albert (Matthew Laborteaux) try to scare off Mrs. Oleson with rumors of a hideous monster, dwelling in a nearby lake -- a ruse that requires a lot of ingenuity, not to mention an elaborate costume.
