Synopsis by Hal Erickson
On the eve of his 73rd birthday, Grandpa Walton (Will Geer) suffers a heart attack. Though the attack proves to be a mild one, it has a devastating effect on Grandpa, who has completely lost his will to live. As the rest of the family deploys some rather unorthodox methods to restore Grandpa to his usual cantankerous self, Grandma (Ellen Corby) begins entertaining thoughts of a tropical vacation once the crisis passes.
