Making their way to Santa Fe, two Americans come across some starving Indians and share their food with them. A bit later, they cross paths with some renegade (and rabid) Mexican soldiers who capture them, then send them on their way across a desert with inadequate supplies. Not much of surprise how this turns out.
The one notable item in this episode is the participation of Paul Winfield as a freed slave who has a hard time accepting his new status. He and Sam Melville's characters seem many years ahead of their time with their relationship built on respect and friendship rather than social strata. While it doesn't affect anything, I believe the Indians identified themselves as Pawnees. How the Pawnees ended up in Mexico is a mystery to me.
