La Famille des collines

The Waltons work together to teach sign language to a 6-year-old whose mother abandoned her.

The children befriend four performers stranded on the mountain after the carnival moves on; guest Billy Barty.

The Walton children learn the family cow's calf, sold to a neighboring farmer, is due to be slaughtered.

John-Boy struggles with his beliefs about killing but proves his courage on a turkey hunt with his father.

John-Boy's sisters unknowingly sell a museum-piece typewriter he borrowed from the Baldwins to a junkman.

Grandpa interprets a shooting star that crash-landed at the Baldwins as an omen of his death.
