When Fenton (Keenan Wynn), the preeminent citizen of Granger speaks, the town listens. The town's high-school boys' basketball team has had a losing season, and he wants the coach fired. What's more, he wants to select his replacement. After a computer search, he discovers that the Olympic track star Randy Rawlings has just the right qualifications. When Randy arrives, he discovers that this star athlete is a woman (Cathy Lee Crosby). However, she insists on her right to try and coach the boys, and she not only succeeds at that, but inspires the boys in other ways as well. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Jason (Jon Walmsley) finds a kindred spirit in Fern Lockwood (Linda Marsh), a timid recluse who shares his love of music--and curiously knows a great deal about the Walton family. As he gradually coaxes Fern out of her shell, Jason discovers that he shares something else with the woman: both he and Fern have recently endured the sudden loss of someone near and dear. Meanwhile, Ben (Eric Scott) takes a "big city" job in Norfolk, leaving John (Ralph Waite) shorthanded when the lumber yard lands a hefty government contract. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
