The drive is over and the drovers are ready to be paid and to party hardy. Sedalia
and its people and law enforcement are ready for them and there are a bunch of
stories in this episode.
The most serious are that of Eric Fleming who was planning to go east to Philadelphia to visit a woman he was courting. Only she up and married another and says so in a Dear John letter. Clint Eastwood in defending a woman whose got some dubious honor to defend has to kill a man. The town's a bad mood.
Usually these stories are told from the town point of view. As Rawhide is about the men who work cattle drives there's a different angle here. But these guys when they cut loose are a rambunctious bunch.
