Storyline:
Hulking, childlike Arnie Guthrie (Cal Bolder) can't control his temper-and even worse, he doesn't know his own strength. Clumsily attempting to force his attentions upon saloon girl Shari (Karen Sharpe), Arnie is reprimanded by Adam and Joe Cartwright, whereupon he beats up both men! Regarding Arnie as a kindred spirit, Hoss Cartwright (who has likewise been "misunderstood" because of his bulk) tries to befriend Arnie and channel his strength and hostility-with unexpectedly tragic results.

Reviews:
"While Leonard Nimoy had a role on Highway Patrol in 'Hot Dust' (1957) and one on 'Dragnet' three years prior in 'The Big Boys' way back in 1954, his brief appearance in the beginning and end of this 1960 Bonanza episode holds dear to my heart as I watch it today on Saturday afternoon TV.

Leonard Limoy died at 83 just yesterday; February 27th 2015 and today's scheduled episodes of each Bonanza and Perry Mason have been graciously preempted with these early debuts. From 'Queen for a Day' in 1951 to Star Trek 'Into Darkness' 2013. His 62 year career is an American and global treasure highlighted by one of the most iconic caricatures ever played in the brief three year run of 'Star Trek' from 1966 to 1969 as the infallible; never failing; always effective; and oh so unforgettable; Dr. Spock.

..just as he spoke, just as he lived, may each of us:

"Characters involved: Sheribelle and Arnie

Cartwright: Hoss, though all the Cartwright's played a part in this episode.

When Arnie, a big man with an "ugly" face walked into the saloon, the saloon girl made fun of him. This caused Arnie to get mad. The fight that followed was a humorous one, but there was nothing humorous about this story.

This episode reminds me of the movie, "Mice and Men." Arnie is strong, but simple-minded which can be a deadly combination. Hoss wants to help him, but Arnie just had too much against him.

I will say that I absolutely hated Sheribelle. What she did is one of those things that I cannot stand! Any person who will pretend to like you only to make fun of you with her friends is pretty horrible. I really wanted to smack her face!
