Little House gets all Ozarks in this episode when Laura and Jonah embark on a plan to collect what they believe is gold from the river. Jonah seems like a liability at first, but turns out to be a solid lieutenant when he “borrows” the Olsen’s entire screen door to improve their panning operation. Amye rewrites the script and renames the episode a few times. Jennie reveals a passion for the metric system and rock shows-and not the cool kind. Laura and Jonah get a harsh slap of reality from Mr. Sprague and a valuable lesson in geology, when they learn that they’ve been tricked by fool’s gold.
