This story formula was seen again later on an episode of The Virginian. The ranch was not near Shilo but Trampas played a role similar to Slim's. William Windom was the fella who began the "halfway house" ranch. John Dehner (aka Morgan Star) played the local Marshal who was dead set against the idea of such a ranch in his territory. The marshal saw them all as criminals who should still be locked up. Trampas had some help with a local progressive judge and the marshal's daughter sided with the ranch too. Unlike this episode, the ranch in the episode of The Virginian was allowed to stay with the eventual support of the marshal. Great story line both here and on The Virginian.
