Sorry to hear you didn't think this was a better story. This was actually based upon a play by Anton Chekhov called the Bear: A Joke in One Act. Which at the time was quite popular and made Anton a good deal of money. This is the only Richard Boone Show that was nominated in 1964 for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Drama - Adaptation. Although it didn't win. Note there were two other Emmy nominations for outstanding single performance by an actress by Bethel Leslie in Episode 1 and Jeanette Nolan in Episode 7.
So I need 64 more characters! Somehow I can see why Lewis Milestone chose a fun Chekhov play as his swansong as this came at the end of his directional career. He went out leave them laughing.
