Storyline:
The title character in the May 13, 1962 Bonanza episode "The Mountain Girl" is Trudy Harker, played by Nina Shipman. Raised in the hills by her reclusive grandfather Seth (Will Wright), Trudy is left in Joe Cartwright's care when Seth dies. Honoring a promise to the girl's late grandfather, Joe is determined to transform the hoydenish Trudy into a "lady", so that she can move into the San Francisco mansion of her other grandfather, wealthy Josiah Harker.

Reviews:
"Michael Landon finds a dying Will Wright on the trail and brings him back to Wright's home in the high country where he's a sheepherder. He exacts a promise from Landon to take his granddaughter to her rich other grandfather out in San Francisco.

It turns out to be a major undertaking as all the Cartwrights pitch in to help Little Joe turn this mountain Eliza Doolittle into a lady.

Nina Shipman steals this episode with her portrayal of the shepherd's granddaughter who discovers she's the closest thing we Americans have to princesses. Good performances from Carl Benton Reid as the other grandfather and Warren Oates as the shepherd who was courting Shipman before learning of her wealth.

A frontier My Fair Lady." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
