This is an excellent episode! Well acted and well written. It has an excellent cast. John Beck and Gary Busey are standouts in this story of men who travel the country breaking horse for ranchers as they move around the country. This story is very familiar though and was probably written Mr. Busey in mind. He had just finished Thunderbolt and Lightfoot the year before. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot starred Busey and Clint Eastwood who robbed a successfully robbed a bank; but Curly (busey's character) got a head injury during the robbery and died after he and Clint had escaped. It was a poignant drama that ends just like this episode. It would be very hard to believe this was a coincidence. That being said; this was a good story, that stands on it's own.
