I find it curious that the debut episode of Rawhide which is ostensibly set on a cattle drive takes trail boss Eric Fleming and ramrod Clint Eastwood away from the drive. I guess what happens here strengthens Gil Favor's resolve to get the herd through whatever they encounter.
What they encounter here is a prison wagon with a real group of specimens among lower types of the homo sapien. A break is attempted but the deputy killed and the marshal in charge wounded.
So trail boss Favor does one for the wounded marshal. He and Rowdy Yates take the wagon on to its destination. But one of the passengers is outlaw wife Terry Moore and her husband is burning saddle leather riding to her rescue.
One of the other passengers is Tom Conway the brother of George Sanders and best known for playing the title role in The Falcon series. He's on the surface as charming as ever. But he also happens to be a serial killer of women Moore truly interests him.
You know it all works out because Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood got back to the herd for the next several years.
