Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the first episode of a two-part story, C&F.W. railroad president Norman Curtis (Roy Roberts) hopes to succeed where his vice-president Homer Bedloe (Charles Lane) by putting the Hooterville Cannonball out of business. As part of this plan, Curtis shows up at the Shady Rest Hotel under an assumed name. Unfortunately for Curtis--but fortunately for us--the crusty railroad executive succumbs to the rustic charms of Hooterville, not to mention the three attractive daughters of hotel owner Kate (Bea Benadaret).
