Storyline:
Adah Isaac Menken and her touring company come to Virginia City to perform the reknowned "Mazeppa". Intrigued by the picture of a naked woman riding horseback, Hoss and Joe are eager to see the show. They sneak out of the house and hurry to the performance only to be pulled out of line by their older brother. Fearing they're about to be reprimanded, Adam scolds them for being late and hopes the best seats aren't gone. During the show, Hoss is confused. The leading lady doesn't look anything like the woman on the poster. Joe says the woman on the poster is playing the part of a man, which just confuses Hoss more. After the show the boys go to the saloon and Hoss is dying to know if she really was naked when she rode out on the horse. After some gentle teasing, Adam assures him that she wore tights.

Reviews:
"This episode involves a real person from Western history. Adah Issac Menken was a famous actress of the time and performed the spectacular "Mazeppa" around the world. It was well known because she played the role of the leading man and was strapped "naked" to a horse. She wore tights, but it was scandalous at the time and drew crowds. She was married three times. John Heenan, the "Benecia Boy", was her second husband and physically abused her. At the time of her performance in Virginia City in 1864, she was married to her third husband. Born in 1835, she would've been younger than Adam and maybe a year older than Hoss. Definitely not the older woman she appears in this episode." Written by jennifer-730 on IMDb.com
