    Foresight

    Decades before Nevada became the gambling capital of the USA Dub Taylor in his third and final appearance as Luke Calhoun on a Bonanza episode turns the Ponderosa into a personal casino.

    Taylor is broke and the Cartwrights hire him on as a hand so he can get some working capital for his normal trade as a gambler. Poker is not allowed among the hands at the Ponderosa for obvious reasons. But you will be amazed at the ingenuity of the rapscallion Luke Calhoun and the things he finds to bet on.

    But it's all in a worthy cause for which you will have to watch and enjoy Dub Taylor in this Bonanza special episode.
