Candy comes to the aid of down-and-out Laura Jean Pollard (Tisha Sterling), offering the bedraggled young woman the shelter and hospitality of the Ponderosa. Before long, however, an ex-marshal named Passmore (William Windom) has arrived on the scene to blackmail poor Laura. What is her secret-and how will it affect the Cartwright clan? Also appearing are Jean Willes as Mrs. O'Brien and Bruno Ve Sota as the Bartender. Written by Thomas Thompson, "Star Crossed" was originally telecast on March 10, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
