Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAudra tells Waldo she has three brothers, but she actually has four: Eugene, the forth, was never explained as deceased, so although his character was written out, he would still exist.
- GoofsFrom her bedroom window, Audra is observing Waldo at the barn in a direct line and at the same level right in front of her, but her bedroom has been previously seen as being upstairs.
- Quotes
Waldo Deifendorfer: Hi, Eli. What you doin' here?
Eli: Oh, nothin'. Just passing through.
Waldo Deifendorfer: I heard down in Salinas they'er lookin' for hands up here.
Eli: Oh, you can't believe everything you hear, Waldo.
Waldo Deifendorfer: Hey, look. "welcome, harvest hands. Best pay. Come in. Sign up now."
Eli: No, I--I just been in there. They all signed up. Have been for days.
Waldo Deifendorfer: Yeah, but those men there.
Eli: Oh, poor fools. They're gonna get the same sad story I got.
Waldo Deifendorfer: Yeah, but...
Eli: I oughts tell 'em to take this sign down. I just oughta do it. But I hear that there's another place right down the street that's got a couple of openings. Now, why don't you hurry on down there, Waldo, and get 'em before they all taken up? I'll run back in here, I'll tell this feller to take his sign down. I'll meet you down there. Now, go on, go on, go on hurry up.
Waldo Deifendorfer: Thanks, Eli. Gee, thanks. You sure are swell to put me on to this. Thanks, Eli.
Frank MacGarrett: Hey, what's the big idea? That man's lookin' for work, isn't he?
Eli: That's right. You hire him, and I quit. There ain't a ranch in California big enough to hold the two of us.
Frank MacGarrett: He looks harmless to me.
Eli: Yeah? He's worse than any gunfighter you ever heard of, 'cause with a gunfighter, you got a chance to draw. With him, there's now way to defend yourself, 'cause you don't know when nor where nor how it's comin'.
Frank MacGarrett: What's his game?
Eli: His game is bad luck. He's a Jonah. Last town he worked in burned down the very day after he arrived. And the last ranch he worked on, the steers got mixed in with the neighbor's sheep. There had been peace in that county for 10 years, and the day he left, there was a full-scale range war goin' on.
Frank MacGarrett: You don't say.
Eli: Oh, Mr. MacGarrett, I sure do. Everywhere he goes, there's trouble, and nobody in his right mind would work anywhere near him, and that's a fact.
Marty Allen plays Waldo Deifendorfer that is hired by the Barkleys to work on the ranch. The problem with Waldo is that he is bad luck. When he is around everything goes wrong. For some reason Nick is the only Barkley that wants him off the ranch. The others tend to see his nice side instead of what goes on when he is around.
Waldo overhears others conversation plus actions and decides to leave ranch. While Waldo is talking to his mule, Audra decides to intervene and stop Waldo from leaving. Audra feels so bad that she breaks a date with her boyfriend to take Waldo to the dance. Much to the displeasure of Audra's boyfriend Don Jarvis.
As much as the writers wanted us to feel remorse for the lovable Waldo, all I could feel was remorse for the absents of Moe and Larry. The show could have used a little slap to the face or a nose pull to get interest back in the show.
The only good thing about this episode is the eye candy provided by Linda Evans. She is at her most beautiful when she attends the dance. With hair up and a beautiful dress- she is a ten.
