Synopsis by Hal Erickson
While passing the Oleson home on Halloween night, Laura (Melissa Gilbert) thinks she witnesses a murder -- specifically, Mr. Oleson (Richard Bull) decapitating Mrs. Oleson (Katherine MacGregor) with a long sword. Fully aware that their mother is merely out of town, the Oleson kids -- Nellie (Alison Arngrim) and Willie (Jonathan Gilbert) -- prankishly decide to play upon Laura's terror with an elaborate charade. But as usual, Nellie and Willie's scheme backfires spectacularly.
