Who is the mysterious marauder that is going around stealing food -- but nothing else -- throughout Walnut Grove? Their minds filled with dime-novel mysteries, Laura Ingalls (Melissa Sue Anderson) and Andy Garvey (Patrick Laborteaux) decide to play detective, hoping to capture the elusive "creeper." Not surprisingly, their sleuthing methods leave a great deal to desired, and cause more harm than good. This is the episode in which Michael Landon (as Charles Ingalls) ends up with green hair! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
