Guest stars take over this particular Virginian story as Judge Garth is faced with a dilemma as a landslide traps a herd of his cattle in a valley with one way in or out. Lee J. Cobb goes to his neighbor Tom Tully and asks to drive the herd across his land to Shiloh and to market.

Tully hates Cobb with an unbridled passion and always finds a way to justify his actions with some scripture quotation. It's a big no and Tully has foreman Robert J. Wilkie who has been a villain in many a western on the big screen and the small to back him up.

Cobb hires a crew of Chinese railroad workers with their foreman Leo Gordon to dig a tunnel. That's when this episode gets lively.

Tully who is blind with hatred and Gordon complete with Irish brogue as the genial come what may foreman really steal this one from the regulars. I'd watch this for them.
