The Ingalls can't make ends meet so they move to the city to find work. The Carters buy the little house and Mr. Carter runs the blacksmith shop and Mrs. Carter starts a newspaper. (John and Sarah Carter - they have two sons, Jeb and Jason.) Laura has decided she wants to spend more time with Rose so the town has hired a new teacher, Etta Plum. Almanzo's brother, Royal has come to visit and brings with him, his daughter, Jenny.
Almanzo's brother, Royal, has a serious heart condition. He dies and leaves Jenny devastated. She tries to drown herself so she can go to heaven to be with her poppa.
While cleaning out a home in Walnut Grove that she recently purchased, Harriet comes across a bearer's bond that she believes makes her eligible to receive over $14,000 from the town treasury.
Mr. Stark has gotten himself so far in debt that he has lost his mind. He goes home and shoots his wife and daughter. Then he goes off and ends up at Laura's house. He mistakes Laura and Jenny for his wife and daughter, but when he sees Rose, he thinks that his daughter has had a baby.
Lou, a diminutive from the circus, tries to find work in Walnut Grove after his wife dies in childbirth. He can't get a job because Harriet doesn't like the fact that he's little and from the circus; she even threatens to close out her bank account if the banker hires him. He steals food and a doll from the mercantile; Harriet presses charges and a judge is on the way, but while they wait for him Nancy falls into a sewer hole and Lou is the only person small enough to pull her out, so all is forgiven.
The life and adventures of the Ingalls family in the nineteenth century American Midwest.
