Funkerson "Phunky" Puckers, the little boy who became a Denver legend after being stuck in one of Blake's oil well for 10 days.
For many years he was a welcome guest in the local TV programmes but, as expected, the fame fizzled out and he had nothing to fall back on. He failed his job as special delivery guy for Mrs. Gunnerson.
We meet Phunky when he's at the end of his tether and he comes up with a scheme to reenact his ordeal from all those years ago. He randomly chooses Claudia's oil well but suddenly changes his mind when he realises that there aren't any witnesses - because it's not in production.
Except that there is going to be a surprise witness, it's Claudia checking out her inheritance. She yells at him "what are you doing there?" which startles Phunky so much that he loses his balance and tumbles into the hole anyway.
Everything is going to be alright and he revives his fame as "the boy who disappeared twice", even resulting in the candidacy for governor of Colorado.
What nobody knows (*cue ominous score*) is that his campaign is financially backed by Dexter's evil sister Dixtrella Dexter who is determined to destroy her brother and all his associations, especially his snooty ex-wife. Her hate and jealousy stems from the trauma caused by mother Gertrude's (special guest villainess Gene Tierney) favouritism towards son Dexter, but she doesn't know that the favouritism extended to sexual abuse.
This all comes together in a very emotional climax but only Krystle is allowed to cry. Sorry but that's the only way I'll do it.
