I must confess that this is a pretty simple episode. The focus is on Little Joe and Hoss, but Ben plays a part in the ending of the episode. The two younger brothers are in the snowy woods hunting a mountain goat. Almost out of food, Hoss decides it's time for them to go home. Unfortunately, trouble arrives in the form of an Indian girl. Her tribe is not with her and she'd not talking, so the Cartwright's have no idea who she is.
I don't want to spoil what little mystery there is in this episode. Hoss delivers her baby in the woods while he and Joe live on wild roots and cow fodder. Little Joe expresses is disgust in this.
The ending is okay, but like I said it's a pretty dull episode.
