Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson) takes charge of the Ingalls household while her parents are away. Unfortunately, Mary's well-meaning sister Laura (Melissa Gilbert) has joined forces with the equally idealistic Andy Garvey (Patrick Laborteaux) in providing shelter for an injured wolf and her pups -- even though the neighboring farms have lost a lot of livestock to marauding wolves. When the barn in which the kids' "pets" are dwelling is surrounded by wild dogs, no one can get close enough to rescue Laura and Andy -- but Andy's dad, Jonathan (Merlin Olsen), is willing to make the effort.
