One of my favorite episodes.

This is really a kind of take off on "Stagecoach".

There is a wagon load of five travelers (and driver) and a drunken gun salesman is among them.

A lady in trouble (pregnant without benefit of spouse) is riding too.

The characters are well-rounded and the scenery & lines are excellent.

At one point there is a sandstorm and for dinner, Heath kills a rattler for the grateful diners.

The scene at the muddy waterhole (where Heath manages a clever way to get water) is memorable as is the relieved conclusion.

Great fun and a good way to while away 50 minutes
