In this special 90-minute episode, Charles Ingalls (
Michael Landon) replaces the injured Jonathan Garvey (Merlin Olsen) in a high-stakes boxing match. Charles wins with astonishing ease -- only to discover that his opponent, a black man named Joe Kagan (
Moses Gunn), is in no condition to be in the ring. Doc Baker (
Kevin Hagen) tells Kagan that he must give up boxing or face an early death -- but what else can Joe do, and where can he go without facing racial prejudice? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
