Fascinating for Aussies because it has not one but two Aussie characters - a cowboy played by Michael Pate (who provided the story and was presumably responsible for the incredibly broad Aussie isms) who encounters the gang, and his aboriginal offsider... played by Woody Strode. I wasn't sure he was meant to be an aboriginal but nope he has an aboriginal name and throws a boomerang and everything and yep he's played by Woody Strode.
They're travelling with Pate's fiancee, Patricia Medina, who is very flirty - Strode distrusts her and with good reason because she pants all over a shirtless Clint Eastwood (who's hardly in this... maybe two scenes - the focus of the ep is the guests).
It's not a bad story with decent twists - James Drury turns up, he's Medina's secret love, Eric Fleming won't let him join the gang, Drury is in cahoots with the Indians who attack Medina, Medina falls for Pate.
Very much of its tie. Remarkably stage bound.
