A most unusual episode for any TV series because it deals with failure for the hero/protagonist. Eric Fleming lost most of his herd over a cliff because of an error in judgment. He arrives at his rail head shipping post with only 9 steers and a horselaugh from the town.
And of course there's the rivalry between fellow trail boss Bill Williams whose herd Fleming was trying to beat into town. Then there's Royal Dano the big boss whom he drives for, a most humorless man.
This episode of Rawhide puts Eric Fleming's career in doubt. He's also got to dip into his own pocket to pay off his drovers. You have to see the outcome here.
