One of the unique things about this periiod of TV in this era and especially TV westerns. was the availability and willingness of stars from previous, and contemporary eras to work together. So in this episode, yoiu have regular star John McIntire and stars Robert Ryan, Vera MIles, Andrew Prine, William (Big Bill) Smith and Tommy Sands. This alone woud make it worth watching. But the story - one involving McIntire's scout Robert Fuller - involves Fuller old trail buddies, who are criminals as was he, and Robert Ryan, who was a lawman with whom they all had a run-in during their past.

Everyone gets a turn to shine, and you get to see the just-before and just-after performances from all involved. It's well worth a look, especially for Ms. MIles' late-episode piece.
