Then Ronnie’s former fiancée, played by Rhonda Fleming, shows up to further complicate the situation. Finally, when the Apaches attack and the entire region is threatened with wholesale destruction, the brothers join forces to save the day.

The World of Sholom Aleichem Zero Mostel, Nancy Walker, Jack Gilford 1954 - B/W - 90 minutes Reading the cast of this TV play is like reliving the glory days of television’s Golden Age. Among the stars are Charlotte Rae and Gertrude Berg, appearing in three classic stories told by Sholom Aleichem, the master Yiddish storyteller. "A Tale of Chelm" deals with a bookseller who is sent to buy a goat in a town full of fools--and runs into a situation where everything is taken literally. "Bontche Schweig" follows the path of a poor, defeated man who dies, goes to heaven, and when asked what he wants the most, his answer brings tears to the eyes of the angels. "The High School" portrays one couple’s efforts to get their son into a non-religious high school; it’s a story of one small but persistent effort to break out of the world of segregation. Watching the machinations presented in this video you realize that time has done nothing to dim the appeal of these tales. " . . . theatre of gentle beauty, compassion, and social protest . . ." -- The New York Times
