Grandpa Walton (Will Geer) never passes up an opporutnity to regale the kids with memories of his adventures during the Spanish Civil War, when--as he tells it--he stood side by side with Teddy Roosevelt while charging up San Juan Hill. Why then, is Grandpa so reluctant to attend a reunion of his fellow war veterans. And just who is that mysterious stranger shadowing Grandpa's every move? This intrigue tends to overshadow the episode's secondary storyline, in which Ben (Eric Scott) goes into the hunting business for fun (?) and profit. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
