In this Rawhide story the Gil Favor herd comes across a woman in the desert barely alive. It's the famous actress and Union spy Pauline Cushman played by
Phyllis Thaxter.
As these drovers are mostly Confederate veterans her arrival is not greeted with applause. But especially not from Lyle Bettger who got cashiered out of the Confederate army when he revealed some information that caused his troops to be decimated in an ambush.
Bettger wants her dead, but Eric Fleming doesn't sanction coldblooded murder. But Bettger has some mutinous allies among the drovers.
Nice guest star turns by Bettger and Thaxter in this story.
