Storyline:
Hoss (Dan Blocker) and Joe (Michael Landon) have been hunting big horn sheep in the mountains for two weeks. They haven't had much luck and Hoss says it's time to return. They plan to pack out the next day.

That night, an Indian holds a knife on Joe. He wakes up and the two wrestle briefly. Coming to Joe's aid, Hoss leaps over the campfire. But in his haste he knocks in their supplies and ammo. Bullets start to fire in every direction. Hoss and Joe take cover behind trees, but the Indian just lays still on the ground. When the "attack" is over, they check on the Indian and discover that she's a pregnant woman who's due any day now. Joe wants to get her to a doctor as quickly as possible, but Hoss is afraid she'd die on the journey.

Joe goes looking for traces of her people, but discovers she was traveling alone and intentionally heading southeast. She's Shoshone and that would take her into Paiute country. The only thing they can figure is that she was heading to Virginia City for some reason.

Reviews:
"This episode has Little Joe and Hoss go on a hunting trip up in the high country when they come across Chana Eden a Shoshoni princess trying to make her way to Virginia City. She's alos most pregnant and Dan Blocker has to deliver the baby.

Both Blocker and Michael Landon prove to be quite resourceful with survival skills. The challenge is the three and the baby to make it odff the mountain before the first winter snowfall hits.

Good episode especially for a resourceful Dan Blocker." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"I must confess that this is a pretty simple episode. The focus is on Little Joe and Hoss, but Ben plays a part in the ending of the episode. The two younger brothers are in the snowy woods hunting a mountain goat. Almost out of food, Hoss decides it's time for them to go home. Unfortunately, trouble arrives in the form of an Indian girl. Her tribe is not with her and she'd not talking, so the Cartwright's have no idea who she is.

I don't want to spoil what little mystery there is in this episode. Hoss delivers her baby in the woods while he and Joe live on wild roots and cow fodder. Little Joe expresses is disgust in this.

The ending is okay, but like I said it's a pretty dull episode." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
