Product Description: Round up this vintage Rawhide episode originally broadcast in 1963. Clint Eastwood stars as Rowdy Yates, who becomes "Sir Lancelot" to Judy Hall (guest star Susan Oliver), a freshly tarred and feathered saloon singer to whom he offers safe haven with the cattle drive. Trail boss Gil Favor (Eric Fleming) disapproves of her disruptive presence. Out of spite, she vows, "By the time I finish with his crew, he'll be lucky if he has one cow left." James Best, perhaps best known as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard, guest stars as Willie Cain, whose interest in Judy ("She bounces class like a fistful of diamonds") dramatically increases when it is revealed that she is in fact an heiress. The legendary Lon Chaney Jr. (The Wolf Man) gives a heartbreaking performance as gentle giant Rock, who tragically defends her honor. As usual, grizzled cook Wishbone (Paul Brinegar) gets the episode's best line. Suspecting that Lola's Saloon is watering its drinks, he remarks of the carousing drovers, "Usually they'd be so drunk they couldn't hit the floor with their hat in three throws." --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews
Great Episode
To quote another reviewer, this is indeed proof of the golden days of the western and Clint Eastwood. In this one, the crew goes to a saloon in a nearby town to relax, but the locals have a scene hatched - steal their money and their supplies! One of the sweet lady singers in the saloon warns them, and a good old fashioned bar brawl ensues! But there are two evil lady saloon singer gals who didn't like her telling the visitor to the saloon what was going on, so they decide to take it out on her. The crews hears everyone laughing at her..." do you hear that... that's the sound of someone else taking pleasure in someone else's misery!"
They offer her safe haven with them for a while, but one of the guys is kind of bent on getting to know her, and she is hard to get to know. Each individual has their own unique personality such as the one guy who likes the new lady: "Noone laughs at me - nobody!"
Very realistic confrontations in this series. They are shown more the way hard feelings develope in real life. Character interaction is excellent.
First class western bravado.
