Thanks Rick, for your behind the scenes info of who the stuntman was of Bill Clark for Aldo Ray as Lief Jessup in that fight scene with Hoss in Act 4 of: "The Wild One" (4 Oct. 1954) Episode #6.3 http://ponderosascenery.homestead.com/files/episode/season6.html inside the Ponderosa.
So did Hoss "spill the beans"? No, http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/spill-the-beans.html of not even like that other expression of: "upset the apple cart" either, even though #___ apples littered the floor before Ben, Adam and Little Joe plus Beauty in the doorway looked in to see what all the commotion was (;-) in that to upset the apple cart is: "used with the meaning of 'upset a previously stable situation by talking out of turn'," but that in this case of Hoss helped in the un- stable to make it stable, as in he had to punch him a few times "for his own good" (;-) http://grammar.about.com/b/2011/02/16/this-is-for-your-own-good-and-other-phony-phrases.htm as like: when "a parent was about to spank a child they used to say: “This will hurt me more than it will you.” What?! Every child knew this was just balderdash! If the parent really meant that, they should have let the child spank them!"
