In this particular episode, Hoss brings home another one of his problem strays, Whizzer McGee. He is a very short man with a great pick chip on his shoulder, which is one reason he is so short-fused. While he is hired at a local hardware store, he makes a claim to a dance hall girl, with whom he becomes strongly taken, that he has rich relatives, only for Hoss to tell her later that he has been an orphan all his life.Naturally, she becomes mad and tells her that she wants only a man who has money. He then tries to obtain so much money illegally.
George Brenlin does a superb job as Whizzer McGee, and Jeanne Bal does well in her part as the dance hall girl who bitterly shuns the man who wants her so dearly.
It is something of a tragedy: it starts out on a high note, but ends up on an unhappy low note. Definitely, it is also an introspective character.
