The Voice of Tinker Jones

What happens

Walnut Grove's church has no bell, and an argument over buying one splits the congregation. Mrs. Oleson wants the bell bought her way, and her stubbornness turns neighbors against each other.

The answer comes from an unlikely place: Tinker Jones, a quiet metalworker who does not speak. He enlists the children to gather metal scraps, and together they cast a bell of their own. The episode is a parable about pride and a town finding its voice again.
