The Iceman Cometh is the fifteenth episode of Season 4 of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, and the eighty-first episode of the series.
Dr. Mike and the Reverend go to Denver to immunize children in the Indian School in Denver. While they are away, a pair of scam artists come through town promising easy money on a non-existing, new invention. With Dr. Mike away, even Colleen gets tricked and "invests" the money she had saved for medical school. The invention? An icebox that doesn't need a chunk of ice to keep things cold.
When the invention comes to town on the train as promised, the scam artists get on that same train to get out of town before the citizens of Colorado Springs can get the crate open and see it's just an icebox. Luckily, the train was going to Denver. Using Dr. Mike's pregnancy, and the Reverend's tricks from when he was a card shark/pickpocket, the two of them get the town's money back, without the scam artists knowing until they get back on the train.
