In this comic episode, Hoss and Joe Cartwright embark on yet another big-business scheme. Investing in two rabbits, our heroes intend to make a fortune selling rabbit skins. Alas, neither brother has the heart to take a knife to the cute little bunnies, which of course proceed to multiply at an alarming rate. Will Ben bail out his two entrepreneur sons, or will he sit back and allow the fur to fly? Written by Alex Sharp, "Ponderosa Explosion" originally aired on January 1, 1967. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
