Plot Summary
Andy is caught in the middle of two feuding mountain families when one's son and the other's daughter show up at the Taylor house to be married. Andy brings the feud to an end by bluffing the heads of the families into settling the matter once and for all with a duel.
Odd Facts Known by Few
- Andy comments that he learned some French when he was there for "the war."
- During the dueling scene, about 18:30 into the show, Andy takes the men's shotguns, unloads them, and returns each gun to the wrong man.
- Actor Chubby Johnson was a true jack-of-all trades. At different times of his life, he was a reporter, columnist, journalist, radio announcer and even a butcher.
- Actress Tammy Windsor was also known as Karyn Kupcinet. She was strangled in her apartment on Thanksgiving Day, 1963. On the last day of her life, Kupcinet had dinner with "Lost In Space" co-star Mark Goddard and his wife. Her father, Chicago columnist Irv Kupcinet believed he knew who killed her but could never prove it. Speculation had it even linked to the JFK assassination, which occurred six days earlier. Irv Kupcinet called such speculation "an atrocious outrage." He said neither he nor his daughter held any secrets about the assassination.
