Season 8, Episode 15
7/10
Yakety Yakking southern belle
10 April 2019
Doug McClure has the spotlight in this Virginian story. Acting as a special deputy Trampas gets shackled to garrulous Strother Martin all the way to Clearwater from Medicine Bow. But the two of them are way outclassed in the gab department but Elizabeth Hubbard of Alabama who doesn't even pause for breath as she yakety yaks the whole trip.

The yakking ceases when there's a holdup in which driver Noah Beery is in cahoots with the bandits. Left afoot this strange trio of McClure, Martin, and Hubbard set out after the bandits.

This is one of the funniest episodes in The Virginian's history. The show did not go in for humorous stories the way Bonanza did occasionally so this one is a treat.
