Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Homer Bedloe (Charles Lane) finally thinks he's found a way to scrap the Hooterville Cannonball. It seems that the local Umquaw Indian tribe claims that they own the land which holds the Cannonball's railroad tracks--and Bedloe wastes no time cozying up to the tribal leaders (meaning a lot of "How!" and "Ugh!" talk that wouldn't past muster in today's more PC-sensitive atmosphere). In keeping with 1960s sitcom tradition, the Umquaw tribe is comprised primarily of non-Indian character actors, including master dialectician Benny Rubin and Love Boat's future "Doc",Bernie Kopell!
