- Dr. Mike reluctantly takes on the role of temporary judge when Horace sues Hank for accidentally breaking his nose and sets off a flurry of suits and countersuits among the town's citizens. Matthew, who has been studying the law, tips off Horace that he's legally entitled to have Hank pay his medical bills. Soon Dr. Mike finds herself in the middle of that case, as well as a property dispute between Dorothy and Grace and a claim by Loren that he was crippled and nearly drowned because of negligence at Preston's hotel.
- Matthew (Chad Allen), who has been studying law, tips off Horace (Frank Collison) that he's legally entitled to have Hank (William Shockley) pay off his medical bills incurred from an accident.
Soon Dr. Mike (Jane Seymour) finds herself in the middle of that case, as well as a property dispute between Dorothy (Barbara Babcock) and Grace (Jonelle Allen) and a claim by Loren (Orsen Bean) that he was crippled and nearly drowned because of negligence at Preston's (Jason Leland Adams) hotel.
Since the circuit judge cannot come for two months and the citizens invoke their right to a speedy trial, the town council appoints Dr. Mike as the judge. Matthew helps her research case precidents so she is able to judge each case fairly.
