Rowdy accompanies Wishbone to Blanton for a dentist to fix Wishbone's tooth. The street is empty but a deputy tells them they have been impounded for a jury. The man on trial for murdering the Indian commissioner is the town doctor and dentist forcing Wishbone to have his tooth pulled in the Sheriff's office followed by a trip to the court room. After listening to the witnesses some of whom gave questionable testimony and arguments the jury goes to deliberate. The first vote is eight for not guilty and four for guilty plus someone is passing the results to the outside. The residents explain that the doctor, Sheriff, prosecutor, and others are corrupt running the town and stealing Indian land. They want the local jury to find the doctor not guilty to prevent double jeopardy as the victim's wife has gone for the Rangers. As the vote moves to more voting guilty they notice intimidation tactics against the local jurors. After much haggling the jury finally reaches a verdict of guilty. The judge is asked to poll the jury allowing a juror to change his vote - or does he. Written by Anonymous

Wishbone buries his brother "alive" to keep Kiowas from killing him for romancing the stony chief's wife. T.J. turns out to be a comical embarrassment: a pot fixer whose customers fight to scalp him for his shoddy tinking, which is his ploy for woman chasing. For years, trail cook Wishy's fellow drovers heard the cook laud his misplaced little brother's prowess as a warrior, politician, you name it. But angering the Kiowa at the moment is deadly serious, because the tribe is divided over signing a treaty. Young braves oppose old Chief Wankawa inking the doc. Written by David Stevens

Cord agrees to take over the herd to save the cattle but with no word from Favor about the change, the men and especially Rowdy question Cord's motives. The men quickly admit that Cord's strategy for moving the cattle is letting them make better time while easier on the cattle and men. However, when Rowdy learns Cord's plans for crossing the river, he suspects Cord is working with the Bates gang who want them to pay tribute to cross. In reality Cord has killed the leader of the Bates gang and they want revenge. The Bates gang spots Cord's ramrod in town who leads them to the sick Favor.

Rather than lose everything (damages issue), Favor agrees to sell her the 2250 cattle (at a fair price) and have her jealous-lovesick-gunfighter-foreman and her brother take the herd to market at Sedalia while Favor keeps her company at her ranch.

The old drovers (except Wishbone, Mushy and Hey Soos) quit the drive as a result. With the old drovers gone, Favor sees the new drovers mismanage tasks resulting in the loss of cattle.

While the herd is held up due to Army problems with the Kiowa, Favor visits his friend Lije Crowning. He finds Lije broke and his ranch foreclosed. Against his better judgment Favor allows Lije to add his 30 head of pasture cattle or "Querencias" to the herd along with Lije as long as he follows Favor's rules. The cattle don't want to leave home forcing the men to work harder to keep the herd moving and Lije's continual ailments keep him from helping. Lije offends the drovers with his braggadocio, insults, incompetence and failure to obey instructions. Lije takes advantage of the men with crooked cards, liquor and mundane tasks causing the men to avoid him. He cheats Hey Soos, the wrangler, dealing blackjack and gets Quince fired for drinking on the job. The final straw is when Mushy takes Lije's fancy Henry rifle to go after a mountain lion and almost dies after Favor assigned Lije to kill it. It is too late to make amends with the men but he tries before leaving camp when Favor kicks him out. As he leaves he spots a bigger problem that could destroy the herd and drive and manages to redeem himself. Written by Anonymous

Stopped at a ranch to buy 18 cattle for themselves, Rowdy, Quince and Hey Soo come across a boy with a crippled leg who wants to join the herd as a drover. Though extremely capable as a budding doctor, he dreams of becoming a drover despite his leg (actually because of his leg). Rowdy won't take him along, but the kid disobeys and follows anyway. Before Rowdy can send the kid home, some friendly Mexican bandits hold up the three drovers, take their 18 steers and kidnap the kid for a ransom from his family. Rowdy wounds one of the bandits as he rides off with the kid. Waiting for the ransom, the kid and the bandit bond and discuss their past misfortunes. They learn that past hates and misfortunes shouldn't twist their current pursuits. The kid even mends the bandit's wound, and concludes that he would be a poor drover, that pursing that career was due to misplaced pride. Eventually Rowdy, Quince and Hey Soos confront the bandits.

Three days later when the trio return to the herd, they find Favor's newly hired drover Rivers, who has all the clothes, mannerisms and eerie mood of the dead John Day, but he shrugs off all questions.

Later that night the brothers and some henchmen decide to stampede Favor's herd through the drovers' camp (destroying men and property) and scatter the herd so they can steal it. However, the plan falters as one of the brothers accidentally dies in the stampede. Favor and Rowdy ride to town to explain the mishap but are sentenced to death for murder in a kangaroo court ruled by the arrogant, anti-American father.

Father-in-law (Stanton) is determined to break up daughter's (Lorraine) sudden marriage to Burt Harvey because he considers Burt a coward who quit the war in the midst of the Battle of Gettysburg after his brother was killed beside him. The episode begins with the couple's marriage at the drovers' camp. Burt had joined the drive with his 40 head of cattle to travel a short distance with Rowdy's herd and then switch off to a ideal valley where he intends to homestead with his wife. Issues of Indian raids and the lack of water change the route the drive must take. Also complicating things is that Stanton, who has 800 of his cattle mixed in with the main herd, suddenly shows up insulting Harvey and insisting that Lorraine return home. However, a surprising revelation makes for a happy ending, reconciling Stanton, Harvey and Lorraine into one happy family. And water is found. Written by chipe

With the herd dying of thirst, Favor must decide whose advice to follow -- Rowdy's advice to head west or that of Lou Bowdark, the new hand, to cross the San Marcos, a treacherous desert. Going east is considered out of the question. There is no sign of water either way, but Rowdy likes the gentle looking trail to the west. What initially decides the issue for Favor is the strong conviction expressed by Bowdark, the mustang hunter who has lived alone in the area for many years and has just joined the drive. What they do not know is that many years earlier Bowdark was trail boss of another herd which traveled through the San Marcos and ended up as a massive cattle graveyard. Bowdark finally owned up to it, but becomes unglued and insists that the disaster was caused by his gutless drovers, and now recklessly wants a second chance to vindicate his misjudgment.

Colonel Macklin, a famous Indian fighter, and his Sergeant buddy have joined Favor's cattle drive as all are headed the same way. Macklin is noted for a famous war-ending victory over the Indians. A drover on the drive, Clanton, also has an unbridled hatred of the Indians. Going against orders, the drover shoots an Indian lad who was just showing off. The Indians sneak into camp at night and silently kill Clanton. They are also intent on breaking the peace treaty and killing all the drovers if they do not hand over Macklin. The reason is that Macklin is guilty of a major atrocity. He defied army orders and attacked the Indians, who were under a flag of peace, killing 245 women, children and old men (no warriors were there). Macklin's rationale was that the Indians would never keep the peace under any circumstances, so he had to resort to "ethnic cleansing" -- killing all children and female "breeders!" Macklin's madness had reached the point that he was being discharged from the Army and heading towards a sanitarium when he had joined Favor's cattle drive. Joseph, a mysterious Indian had joined the drive as a drover, and he seems very interested in the issue of white-Indian peace relations. He appears to have clout with the Indians. Maybe he can arrange peace and save the trail drive. Written by chipe

Eventually the Indians rebelled and recouped and buried much of the artifacts in mountains sacred to the Indians. ***Spoilers*** It seems that Jeremiah was once a greedy prospector who accidentally killed his son while probing the sacred Indian mountains.

The drovers are having a steady run of luck - bad luck. Rowdy's back is hurt when Hey Soos allows an unbroken stallion to run over him. Hey Soos makes the second mistake of going after the stallion. A low limb knocks him out of the saddle and unconscious. He wakes up in a Japanese robe being attended to by Nami - a Japanese servant girl. Hey Soos brings her back to camp adding to Favor's concerns. Rowdy can't walk, he has Nami, and the Kiowa are trailing the herd. Nami had studied to be a Geisha but never became one. Many of her methods and ideas are foreign to the drovers but she frequently helps. The Kiowa come into camp asking for Nami believing she is an Indian Princess of their lore. Favor's route comes up dry and the Kiowas steal most of the horses. As the men prepare to fight, Nami tells Hey Soos she can tell when the catfish shakes - there is going to be an earthquake. She believes one to be imminent and it will be big. She goes to the Kiowa telling them she is displeased with them and she will destroy the earth unless the horses are returned and the herd allowed passage. Although her timing is slightly off, the catfish shakes and everyone runs for cover including the stampeding herd. Written by Anonymous

Wishbone is driving his chuck wagon by a dangerous steep cliff. That scares him and causes him to get dizzy. After a minor fall from the cliff, he awakens blind! Favor takes him to the nearest town doctor who finds Wishbone to be superficially in good health -- no bruises to his body or eyes. The doctor, though, gives Favor a pamphlet describing Wishbone's possible condition -- being emotionally traumatized by an event that psychologically causes an impairment such as being crippled or blind. The pamphlet describes a case where an emotional emergency forced the patient to "forget" her impairment and to swing into action. Wishbone recalls a terrifying childhood experience where, as a prank, other kids tied him up in a high ringing bell tower. Wishbone is taken back to the cattle drive, where he fumbles about as a blind cook. However, a forest fire engulfs the drovers' camp endangering both Wishbone and Rowdy. Rowdy is knocked unconscious, leaving Wishbone alone to save them. Written by chipe

A fragile treaty between the Army and the Indians is about to come apart if the Army does not fulfill its obligation to deliver 200 head of cattle to the tribe within the week. Major Blaine wants peace and has commandeered 200 of Favor's cattle to drive to the Indians. Blaine also forbids the rest of Favor's herd to advance forward due to the possible Indian War. Thus, Favor decides to personally help Blaine get the job done -- deliver the cattle. But the Indian Latigo and his small band of followers want war and have announced that they will stop the cattle from arriving to the Indian tribe. That prompts the Major to seek aid from the main tribe to protect his 200-head cattle drive from Latigo, and so as not to infuriate the Indians, he decides he must travel alone to the main tribe. Latigo kills the Major, and his Indian band attacks the 200-head drive, but are driven back leaving a wounded Indian girl warrior (Leslie Wales) behind. She hates the whites for good reason, and a Sergeant (Gene Evans) hates the Indians for good reason. But the two of them come to understand and respect the other, and she is the group's last hope to reach the main tribe to recuse them from Latigo. Written by chipe

A tornado scatters Favor's cattle herd. All are rounded up except 100 head that the children of an orphanage collected, and which the head of the orphanage, Smithers (Eddie Bracken), innocently sold for the giveaway price of $300 to the local banker, Randolph (Everett Sloane), who knew that the cattle were illegally rounded-up. Randolph sold the cattle to an honest trail boss for $3000. In a complicated scheme to con $3000 back from the banker, Favor has Wishbone and Mushy, using aliases, join the orphanage as volunteers. Favor plants 200 head of cattle near the orphanage to be "discovered" by Wishbone and the kids. Smithers and Wishbone sell the cattle to Randolph for $3000, Wishbone signing the bill of sale with his alias name. Wishbone afterward convinces Smithers to let Wishbone go off with the $3000 to find the guy who "lost" the 200 head, and Favor descends with the sheriff to claim the 200 head since Randolph is holding a false bill of sale. So the upshot is: Favor got $3000 for the loss of the original 100 head; Smithers still has his $300 for the orphanage; and Randolph is out $300 (the $3000 he originally got for selling the 100 head to the innocent trail boss, less $300 he had given Smithers for the 100 head, less the $3000 he gave Wishbone-Smithers for the 200 head).

Eighteen months ago at a frontier army post, Capt. George Ballinger (George Grizzard), the officer in charge, was awaiting the arrival of his wife and young son by wagon train being supervised by Sgt. Morton. The wagon carrying the wife and son overturned killing them. Ballinger was grief-stricken and enraged, leading him to kill Morton, who was not at fault. The key evidence at the trial, which resulted in a sentence of death, was the testimony of his friend Rowdy Yates, who said although Ballinger was drunk part of the time, at the time of the shooting he was sober and said he would kill the Sgt., thus the capital punishment sentence. In the episode's present time, Rowdy excuses himself from drover duty to attend the execution to offer whatever comfort he can give Ballinger. Ballinger has three hopes of saving his life: his appeal of sentence might be granted (to be decided and delivered soon from a distant Army outpost); the Indians might attack, and he can escape in the confusion;...

Soon thereafter, an Army detail arrives looking for the deserter, and they discover the Army blanket and Army horse Johnson left behind in exchange for inconspicuous ones. Favor is arrested and held for buying stolen Army items. And the drovers learn that the father and daughter duo are heading towards renegade Indians.

The dying cattle won't cross the river or drink water because they are not thirsty because they lack salt in their diet because they have been traveling over and eating burnt-out grass.

Rowdy eats crow and his regular crew might get no pay, because they show up late to a new owner's roundup. Trail boss Rowdy must complete this drive in six weeks or get no fee, plus the deal includes the rancher's foreman Lash as Segundo. The flexibility and principles Rowdy learned from Gil Favor, conflict with ramrod Lash's attack mode. Lash bulls the steer-men hard, makes good time, and plenty of enemies too, including starving Arapaho, who Lash drives off before they can even plead for some tender beef, for their families back at the reservation. The Arapaho warriors track the cattle drive, for the right moment to rustle what they need - by force. If they take tough old Lash too, Rowdy, nursing cracked ribs, won't mind.

A rattler spooks trail-guide Jonas who falls over a cliff as does Rowdy trying to rescue him. Jonas' son Aaron throws a rope to save Rowdy, not his father, because Jonas has become an embarrassing slacker. Jonas fakes injuries from the fall to weasel out of leading the herd across a dangerous river, which Rowdy dares to cross, rather than venture a pothole-ridden mountain pass urged by Jonas. When Rowdy finds a blotto Jonas malingering with liquor stashed under his bedroll, he fires both father and son. Back home Aaron eloquently prophesies that Rowdy will need them to forge the river quicksand. Jonas bolts onto a bender, proving he's neither saint, nor Nephite, selling a third of Rowdy's herd to a conman. Childless Rowdy's Oedipal abandonment issues surface via his brotherly concern over Jonas' motherless son when Rowdy describes his own history to Aaron which is similar. Aaron tries to find a crossing but has to be rescued from quicksand while the Sheriff arrives wanting one third of the herd. Jonas' bluff is called by his embarrassed son who outs Jonas as a drunk. A sober Jonas finds a crossing allowing Aaron to regain respect for him. Written by David Stevens
