With Charles (
Michael Landon) in Mankato on business for two weeks, Caroline (
Karen Grassle) must find someone to complete the new kitchen in the Ingalls house. She hires a handsome handyman named Chris Nelson (
Gil Gerard) to do the job. Outraged at the apparent too-friendly relationship between Chris and Caroline, Caroline's daughter Mary (
Melissa Sue Anderson) suspects the worst -- and perennial gossip Mrs. Oleson (Katherine MacGregor) is all too willing to spread malicious rumors throughout Walnut Grove. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
