When Charles (Michael Landon) comes into an unexpected inheritance, everyone tries to tell him how best to spend the money -- including the troublesome Mrs. Oleson (Katherine MacGregor). Only after getting deeply into debt with the Olesons does Charles discover that his windfall consists of worthless Confederate money. Intending to milk the situation for all it is worth, the spiteful Mrs. Oleson gleefully humiliates the Ingalls by auctioning off their belongings -- and that is when Charles discovers who his real friends are. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
