EPISODE GUIDE
The Big Valley

The Big Valley is a television western set in the 1870s recession era. Victoria Barkley is the widowed matriarch of an adult family of four sons and one daughter living on a 30,000 acre ranch in San Joaquin Valley, California. Her third son, Heath, is the illegitimate child of her late husband, Tom, and a waitress named Leah Thomson. In the premiere episode, Heath, an angry young man, shows up at the ranch to claim his inheritance. His temper mellows out as he's quickly accepted as a full member of the family, and Victoria comes to love him as her own flesh and blood. Trials and tribulations plague the Barkleys as they face off with tenacious adversaries eager to steal a piece of their properties.
