A new banker comes to Walnut Grove, and Ebenezer Sprague is as tight-fisted and sour as his name suggests. The townspeople keep their distance, but Laura meets him at a fishing spot and decides he needs a friend.
Their unlikely friendship grows, until Charles needs a loan from the bank. Sprague jumps to an ugly conclusion about why Laura was ever kind to him, and both of them are badly hurt. Can the lonely banker learn to trust someone again?
