Synopsis | A 50-year-old man and his son are having a hard time keeping up with the rest of the herd on a trail drive. When a marshal comes asking the questions, the pair quietly leave. Trail boss Gil Favor follows them and finds that the older man is an escaped convict, who was wrongly convicted of murder by a crooked judge. The marshal follows Favor and takes all of them back to camp. The next day the herd is attacked by Indians and all men are needed to hold off the attack. In the battle, the convict saves the marshal's life, causing the lawman to change his mind about the convict's guilt. |

Synopsis | Running low on supplies in a winter drive, trail boss Gil Favor tells Wishbone and Mushy to go to the nearest town and stock up. At the Clanton General Store, the two are beaten without provocation and sent away without supplies. Gil and Rowdy go to town and find that a previous trail herd had trashed the town and killed three men, so the town refuses to do business with any trail herd. Rowdy and Gil leave, but the townsmen decide to hurry them on their way by stampeding the herd. The stampede backfires when it heads toward the town and Gil and Rowdy have to turn the cattle away. |
