    Troubles south of the border visit the Gil Favor cattle drive as some Mexicans clearly out of the their jurisdiction in Texas come looking for Pepe Hern who signed on as a drover. He's the son of a rebel general opposed to Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz. Eric Fleming doesn't let them have him, but they get him anyway due to some betrayal by Elena Verdugo daughter of an old bandit chief Jacques Aubuchon who settled in Texas.

    In charge of the Diaz supporters is Frank DeKova and he's one ruthless dude. The only truly consistent character in the guest cast.

    I had a lot of trouble figuring what was going on with Verdugo and why she decided to help this bunch. Still wasn't sure when the episode was over.

    Not the best Rawhide episode out there.
