Incident of the Dog Days

Obwohl seine Männer ihn warnen, entscheidet sich Trailboss Gil Favor, seine Herde über eine völlig ausgetrocknete Ebene zu treiben. Die Tiere drohen zu verdursten. Seine sonst so loyale Mannschaft wendet sich gegen ihn. (Text: Premiere)

Favor stops Talby from shooting Johnny Camber, who he says is Billy Carter, who killed his daughter. Clark accuses Carl Myers of being a trail camp thief and a card cheat. Favor decides to take the herd across the dry plain at the worst time of the year. The men begin to question Favor's judgment. Eventually all but six of his men quit.
